Note that Members are contacted by a member of the Committee each month to commit to attendance at the tasting. Unfortunately, it is not possible for members or guests to simply ‘turn up on the night’ owing to space limitations and the need to arrange catering in advance.
Many thanks to our members for presenting their wines and sharing some amusing and interesting stories.

The start of something special? Tim Atkin, Oz Clarke and Olly Smith have kicked off a trio of excellent tastings during September, October and December. We no idea what to expect, but it’s bound to be fun! Tickets are now on sale through their website.
We don’t have any affiliation with the Three Wine Men, but with such knowledge and influence in one place, you can’t go wrong!
In August we have our AGM and Members Tasting.

If you’d like a cracking day out in London, and drink some fantastic wine to boot, check out the Wine Gang Christmas Fair – Saturday 29th October.
Early bird tickets are now on sale for £15 each, and there’s opportunity to also book tickets for some excellent tutored tastings. More details are available on The Wine Gang Website.
You don’t have to be a member of The Wine Gang to attend their tasting, but if you’re interested in a monthly round up of the best wines, by some of the key players in the industry, they currently have a special offer. They are giving away a pack of the fun Wine Trumps card game (the wine version of top trumps) to all new members taking their £19.99 annual subscription. As the game is worth over £9.00, it’s a great time to join the Gang!
We don’t have any affiliation with The Wine Gang, but they do help us drink quality wine!
If you shop at Tesco, I’m sure you’ll be visiting their wine isle. Take a look a recent blog post by Jamie Goode on his recommendations…
