August Meeting

Our latest meeting  was at Val Westalls on the evening of Monday 19th August.
There were 7 members present, apologies were received from the other three.
Our fist wine was a red French Burgandy- Pinot Noir Grape- medium bodied.
the average mark out of 10 was 6 1/2 and it cost £7.18.
some comments were that it was sharp,strong tarty and heavy, tasting of blackcurrant with a clean smell.
some members thought it might have come from Germany or Australia. one member thought that after tasting there was a cherry hint.

Our second wine was a Merno from New Zealand- costing £10.00
Young Brains  main  comment  was "I like it"...fine ..it could therefore have been a very short meeting.
comments thought it was a bright healthy wine..bit sharp/tarty at times- the flavour lasting   whilst one member thought it was Italian,  but Michael for his
sins thought that it was "Bulgarian"
It was a very good socially based evening and our thanks to Val for hosting it and providing a good selection of cheese and biscuits.

Our next meeting will be on Monday 16th September at Kathies.
