December Tasting<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

55 people attended our Christmas tasting at the La Senia restaurant in Denia. This restaurant has a nice cosy atmosphere and serves excellent food, setting the scene for members to enjoy the festive evening.\u00a0\u00a0 This tasting did not involve a lot of soul searching on scoring the wines because they\u00a0were traditionally chosen by the President. However each table was asked to list the area the wine came from and the grape variety, with answers being arrived at by a consensus for that table.\u00a0 The winning table received, drank and enjoyed a nice rosado cava to finish off the evening.\u00a0\u00a0 The full report on the evening can be read on the web site by clicking on: http:\/\/www.cbws.eu\/archive\/10th-december-2015-restaurant-la-senija-denia\/<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
