Dear Members<\/span><\/p>\n

I trust this newsletter finds you all in good health and looking forward to our next tasting.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>September Tasting<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I was delighted to welcome 64 members and guests to \u201cWhose wine is it anyway\u201d presented by members Caryl and Gordon Sellars at Restaurant La Senia in Denia.\u00a0\u00a0 Gordon introduced the tasting by announcing that on this occasion the event would be slightly different, in that, instead of guessing the correct wine being introduced they would be asked to identify the grape variety of each of the wines tasted.\u00a0\u00a0 As usual members received three presentations from Caryl, Gordon and Mary Anderton for each wine tasted but each for a different grape variety wine, but only one would be correct for the wine being tasted. The task was to decide who is telling the truth and who is bluffing. Once the truth was revealed, members scored the wine in the usual way. \u00a0All the wines were monovarietals and the table getting the most correct answers would receive a prize. A full report on the tasting can be found on the Society\u2019s web site by clicking on \u201cSeptember Tasting\u201d<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 The cost of each wine and where it can be purchased and average score given by members is shown in the list of wines tasted in 2016, which can be found by clicking on\u00a0\u201cWines tasted in 2016<\/span>\u201d<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
