February's event - attended by sixteen members on a cold, snowy evening - was a very interesting and enjoyable wine-tasting presented by Chris and Harriet from Majestic Wines of Reigate. Four reds were offered: a pinot noir from the Loire Valley which was compared with a merlot from Chile and a GSM (Grenach/Siraz/Mourvedre) from the Rhone to compare with a similar blend from South Australia. Two whites tried were a chardonnay from Chile and a chenin blanc from South Africa. We were also given samples of food that were recommended with each wine. (We can confirm that chocolate does go well with red wine, in particular on this occasion with the Rhone GSM. )
On Tuesday 6th March we go to The Haycutter for skittles and a buffet supper.
Starting time is 7.30 p.m. A coach will pick up at 7 o'clock in Kings Cross Lane, 7.05 at the foot of the Avenue, 7.08 at the Village Hall, and, if required, about 7.12 at top Nutfield.
The club was founded in 1977 and meets once a month (except August), usually with a guest speaker or wine expert.
