For wine lovers, living in Andorra is a paradise, as Andorra is situated between the two greatest wine-producing countries, Spain and France. There are literally almost 1,000 wines which can be purchased in Andorra and if this is not enough, there are countless wines available in Toulouse and Barcelona. It is also within an easy day’s drive to visit the regions of Bordeaux and La Rioja.

 

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.
