For wine lovers, living in
The
CIA Wine Tasting Group has been active almost since the commencement of the CIA.
In the recent past, this Group was successfully run by Ivan and Diana
Stansby. Meetings were well supported
and there was much interchange of ideas and information, as well as sampling of
the splendid wines at affordable prices. More recently, the Wine Tasting Group
was run by Simon Binsted but as Simon has become President of the CIA, he no
longer has the time to run this Group.
The
CIA is urgently looking for someone to take an interest in the Wine Tasting
Group and run two or three meetings a year. An interest and appreciation of
wine is far more important than being an expert, so if anyone is interested,
please contact a member of the Board or Richard Hooker, Tel: 835142. Meetings
are informal and are usually held at a local hotel or restaurant and are
attended by thirty or so members, who pay a small charge to cover expenses.
There are literally limitless ideas, such as tasting and comparing Chardonnays
and Sauvignon Blancs, Rioja Crianzas and Reservas and wines from different
regions. It is only by tasting and talking about wines that we all learn to
appreciate wine and thereby enrich our lives.
So,
if you are interested, please come forward and we can assure you that, if any
help is required, it will be readily available. There is almost no commitment,
because, if you do not enjoy running the first meeting there is no commitment
to run another meeting.
In
addition to the Wine Tasting Group, once a year there is a Wine tasting Party.
This is one of the big social occasions of the Club, held near Christmas.
Normally, one of the wholesalers/mayoristas present six wines and these are
served with generous canapés. These
wines are then available to Club members to purchase at discount prices. This
event is normally attended by approximately 125 people.
For information concerning the next Wine Tasting
event
please
contact Richard Hooker or a member of the Board.
