Dear Members<\/p>\n
Welcome to our October Newsletter where you will find detailed below our next Wine Tasting.<\/p>\n
A total of 48 people attended a delightful \u201cWelcome Back\u201d event in September in the beautiful setting of Puerto Blanco where members enjoyed an informal get-together with wines selected from previous Wine Trips. By using the usual format of seating i.e numbers out of the hat, members were able to re-connect with each other after such a long time without a physical CBWS wine tasting.<\/p>\n
The wines we tasted were:<\/p>\n
Vi\u00f1as del Vero Chardonnay and Gewurtztraminer, DO Somontano<\/p>\n
Care Rosado, DO Cari\u00f1ena<\/p>\n
El Regajal, DO Vinos de Madrid<\/p>\n
Sio, DO Binissalem Mallorca<\/p>\n
To comply with the current restrictions a welcome cava\/white wine was served at each table.\u00a0 My thanks to everyone for respecting the Covid rules with masks and seating. Photos of the event can be seen on the website by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n ____________________________________<\/p>\n We are looking forward to our next Wine Tasting which will take place at the MR Hotel, Les Rotes, Denia on Thursday October 21, at 7.30 pm.\u00a0 This will be a very interesting tasting of a selection of wines chosen by John Davies, a wine importer from London who has presented to us on several previous occasions. Unfortunately John is unable to attend the tasting due to a family illness so the presentation of these wines will be shared amongst ourselves.<\/p>\n John has chosen as his theme, Bordeaux blends made in Spain, using the classic Bordeaux grape varieties in both white and red wines.<\/p>\n We will be using a new Wine Assessment form at this tasting which will enable members to assess the qualities of each wine in a more structured way.\u00a0 Neville Richardson will guide everyone through this new process.<\/p>\n For those new members who have not attended a tasting at MR Hotel, this is a delightful setting where the reception drink will be served on the patio and the tasting in a spacious dining area, exclusive to us.\u00a0 Any members wishing to stay overnight at the Hotel can enjoy a special 15% discount for Wine Society members and this should be reserved directly with the Hotel mentioning you are attending a CBWS wine tasting.<\/p>\n We hope to see as many of you as possible at this second in-person event as this is a great location for us to enjoy the wines and company of fellow members.<\/p>\n Detailed below is the Menu.
