I had the pleasure to welcome 54 members to the Christmas tasting at the Restaurante Nau Nau in the J\u00e1vea Sailing Club. This was a new venue for the Society and was enjoyed for its lovely cosy atmosphere and excellent food.\u00a0\u00a0 The final meeting of the Society each year is traditionally not a tasting but a Christmas celebration during which good food and wine is enjoyed, but not marked, in a party atmosphere.\u00a0\u00a0 Also at this event a number of presentations are made.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Wine Taster of the Year was won by Keith Pacey with a hard to beat 100%. He was presented with a trio of wines. Joint runners up were Renate Pluis and Ted Floodgate with 98%. Sharing third place were Andrew Johnson and Pat Pacey both with 97%. Congratulations to these members who once again have demonstrated their wine tasting skills. The runners up and third place members were also presented with gifts of wine.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also took the opportunity to present bottles of wine to 5 people who had attended all 10 tastings in 2016 Colin and Sue Donadio, Tim and Sandy Fawle and Renata Pluis who have all attended all 10 tastings this year.\u00a0 A full report appears on the web site, click on December Tasting<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
