74 members and guests attended the September tasting at Restaurante La Senia in Denia.\u00a0 I introduced John Davis our guest speaker from London.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 John has decades of experience in the wine trade and he gave a fascinating insight into his theme of\u00a0\u201cIs climate change a good thing?<\/strong>\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Climate change is not all gloom and doom.\u00a0 Science influences winemaking, and the challenge of combating these wild weather patterns has led to some unexpected bonuses.\u00a0 New regions are open to growing vines, especially at altitude.\u00a0 And here in Spain we have a readymade answer \u2013Galicia<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0 John presented five wines from Galicia.\u00a0\u00a0 A more detailed report on the tasting can be found on the web site under \u201cTastings \u2013 Recent Tastings\u201d or by clicking on\u00a0September Tasting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tribute to Tim Ladd<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

At the September meeting Tim Fawle gave the following tribute To Tim Ladd.\u201c <\/span><\/p>\n

Tim Ladd sadly passed away on Friday Sept 14 in Kent.<\/span><\/p>\n

His healt\"\"<\/a>h had steadily deteriorated over the past few months and prior to that he moved back to the UK residing in a beautiful country house.\u00a0 Tim was a major contributor to CBWS and was awarded an honorary membership on our 25th<\/sup> Anniversary for his outstanding services. Having had a career in the drinks sector working for many years at Harveys of Bristol and the Allied Domeq Tim was a very enthusiastic member and for 7 years took over the Wine Trip organisation with his first trip to Jerez.\u00a0 He introduced members to some fascinating areas and greatly improved our knowledge of wine as his enthusiasm in dealing with bodegas was infectious he was very interested in the developing wine trade in Spain\u00a0\u00a0 He was a special man who believed passionately in the causes he was involved in, particularly the Wine Society where he was at the forefront of ensuring members and guests kept to the spirit of the Society – he was a notable president, organised successful wine trips and enthused all with his up to date knowledge of the wine trade in Spain.\u00a0\u00a0 Some of us were fortunate in being invited to his special birthday celebrations in Oporto where his planning and organisation were faultless, we understood the passion he had when working for Harvey\u2019s and Allied Domecq and his contacts in the Sherry and port business.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tim, you will be missed by all of us but we know you will be up there sitting on the right hand of the Father tasting the wine and offering your knowledgeable\u00a0 opinion to everyone! WE SALUTE YOU!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
