Wine Tasting Group

Do you enjoy drinking wine? How often have you paced along the wine racks in a supermarket, wondering which wine to choose? We have all done it so you are not alone, so why not join the Stewartry U3A Wine Tasting Group and have the opportunity to sample wines from around the world. Try wines you would never have considered and have a great time with like-minded friends putting the emphasis on enjoyment rather than the high-minded descriptions sometimes associated with wine tasting.

We meet in the evening of the fourth Wednesday of every month and are currently looking for new members. Why not contact the group facilitator, Magnus Johnson at magnus_a_johnson@hotmail.com for further information.

At their January meeting this group tasted some excellent Malbec wines and enjoyed a good selection of cheeses whilst discussing the wines presented by hosts, Chris and Jean Ingram. Of the three wines presented, the French Malbec just scraped in front but there was very little to choose between that and the Argentinian Malbec. Though the wines were quite different, both proved to be exceptionally good and much improved with the cheeses and sausages. The Spanish Malbec, though individually a good wine, was just in a different league to the French and Argentinian. This group can recommend all three Malbecs.
