Dear All,<\/span><\/p>\n

Members and guests enjoyed a very interesting presentation at the new premises of Restaurante Los Amigos in Javea.<\/span><\/p>\n

The owner of Acustic\u00a0Bodega in Montsant, Albert Jane, presented a selection of his wines from his family bodegas, finishing with a delicious Plaer\u00a0Tinto 2018 from his Bodega in Priorat. For a detailed report on the tasting click here<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

December 8th, Restaurante A Bordo, Club Nautico, J\u00e1vea – 7.30 pm<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I am writing to you earlier than usual as our December tasting is always at the beginning of the month due to other pre-Christmas events and people travelling away.\u00a0 You are promised some very nice wines to taste and enjoy with your dinner as it is El Presidente’s selection! So please make every effort to attend. As December 8 is a national fiesta, and in order to get exclusivity in the A Bordo Restaurante in Club Nautica Javea, we need to ensure that we achieve a good attendance. For this reason, although this is traditionally a members\u00a0only event, we will offer places for guests who have the definite intention to become members next year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dress code for this evening is lounge suits or black tie and the ladies in their usual elegant attire!\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We would ask you to book with Penny Floodgate\u00a0pennyfloodgate@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0 giving her your choice of main course.\u00a0Please note that your welcome cava will be served at 7.30 pm.\u00a0 If you wish to have a drink before this time it must be paid for at the bar.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
