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

Restaurante La Senia, Nou Roma Hotel, Denia. Prior to our tasting the AGM was held with 31 members attending \u00a0The minutes of the AGM will be available on the website by clicking here<\/a> and if any member who did not attend the meeting would like a copy of the financial report please contact our Treasurer Mike Granville mike@granvillefamily.org<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

A total of 44 members and guests \u00a0attended the tasting in the hotel\u2019s La Senia Restaurant\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The wines we\u00a0 tasted were those that had received the most points by CBWS members during 2022.\u00a0 We plan to start each year with a tasting of the highest scoring wines from the previous year and it was interesting to compare how these were scored by members on a second tasting.<\/span><\/p>\n
