MaD U3A Wine Appreciation Group March Meeting
Can you identify a Chenin Blanc, Pinotage or Beaujolais without seeing the label on the bottle? No? Well neither can we! Actually one person did get all three white wines correct, and two people were able to identify all three reds. As for the rest of us…
Well to be fair, most people did manage to get some of the wines right in the “blind tasting” that Sue planned for us this month. Plus we had a lot of fun comparing and contrasting the wines she presented us with. We may not always know what we are drinking, but at least most of us know what we like! Thanks, Sue, for a lovely (and very educational) afternoon.
The MaD u3a Wine Appreciation group meets on the third Wednesday of each month, starting at 2:30 pm. The group is currently full, but if you would like to put your name on the waiting list please contact either Sue or Maggie by email.
Although the in-person group is full all members are welcome to join the MaD Wine Bar which meets via Zoom most Wednesdays at 6.00 pm.
Cheers from the Wine Appreciation Group
