Saturday 26th June saw the last event in this season’s UWC, the Summer BBQ. It marked the end of another 10 great monthly meetings which produced a fine blend of both member and guest talks on some fine wines from around the world.
Not dampened by the wet weather, 40 or so members and guests enjoyed some fine burgers and bangers cooked to perfection by Matt, accompanied by the plentiful supply of salads, rice dishes and cheeses bought by the members. Plenty of wine was consumed on the evening but those worthy of a mention were the Porta 6 2013 Lisboa (£7.49 on multi buy from Majestic) and the White Burgundy (£8.99 from Waitrose – often on offer!) Both good Summer BBQ drinks. All went well with some great tunes supplied by Pete!
Most people will know that Ellie and Matt who have supported the UWC as committee member and chief cook for a number of years will shortly be moving to Herefordshire. Whilst I am sure this will not be the last wine club meeting we will see them at on behalf of all our members I would like to say a huge thank you for all your help and support and we all wish you well.
Enjoy your Summer break and we hope you have a happy holiday. We will be back again in September, so please look out for your renewal forms for next season. If anyone has yet to try a visit to one of our wine (social) evenings then please drop Ian Langley a note with your details at Barn Acre, Stream Road and come try an evening as our Guest!
