18th March wine meeting

Our latest meeting was held on the evening of the 18th March at Lesley Byewaters house in Bartley. As usual we had two bottles of excellent red wine to" sample our delights" As it turned out Lesley had been very clever in that both bottles were "Australian Chiraz" but of different verities- this really tested our skills in this very enjoyable hobby.
 The first wine was the lighter of the two with a slight blackberry(and cherry-Jean) flavours with a balanced acidity and not too intense. for this the average mark out of ten was 7. The second wine was thought to "cling to the glass"- with a bright, deep ruby flavour , with a strong sharp flavour. for this the average mark out of ten was again "7". Everyone enjoyed the evening and our thanks go to Lesley for hosting the evening. The next meeting will be on Monday the 15th April at Michael Pages, commencing at 7 pm. ====================== Michael Page =====================
