Well here we go again I hope every one has rested their vital organs over the summer, by that I mean your taste and olfactory senses, for the next wave of aromas and flavours to hit your palates. We would like to welcome all old members who have rejoined and a special welcome to new members. I hope that they will have as much fun as we have had over the past few years. The first meeting was a sampling session to try to tell the difference if any between the same grape varieties, produced in different countries or different areas in the same country/continent this proved as challenging for some of us as ever, but enjoyable. The next meeting will be on the wines of Spain, as we have not visited them for several years. I do hope people will come as from personal experience the Spanish wines have improved over recent years. And I hope people will be pleasantly surprised.
