Wine Appreciation 2

This has been an interesting year with many unusual tastings. We were sad that Rhonda decided to leave her able leadership of the group and have been pleased to welcome new members; we are nearly up to capacity.

We had an excellent Christmas meal with an Italian flavour, fish rather than turkey and many courses, with wines to go with each of them! We have been trying to avoid the 'buy one get one free' offers recently since the real value of the wine is often below the offer price.

German and Eastern European wines were both a great success even though finding them was a bit of a challenge. We tried a lovely German wine at just 8.5 %, excellent for lunchtime quaffing; all the flavour but you can still garden in the afternoon. We are returning to Chile in February and will then be looking for wines from warmer climes as summer approaches.
