\u00a0<\/b>JANUARY MEETING – Thursday January 16th at La Senia Restaurant,<\/b><\/p>\n

Hotel Nou Roma, Av. del Cid 3 y Calle Nueva 28, CP 03700 Denia<\/b><\/p>\n

We are introducing a new style of evening, which we call “Whose wine is it anyway?” This is a Call my Bluff or Liars Club manner of event. Each of our 5 wines will be presented by 3 different “bluffers”. The members attending will be invited to vote for which they think is telling the truth. And before you score each wine the reality will be revealed. There will certainly be wine that you should recognise. But there might also be some new labels. We are limiting attendance to accommodate us comfortably inside at La Senia. As a result, this will be a members only event.<\/p>\n
