Hitting the Bottle
Aug. 23rd, 2005 08:54 pmGeorgina, Ping and I have hatched a plan to go on a wine tasting course, since
we're both embarrassed by how little we know about the subject. There's
no reason to keep this to ourselves, so: does anybody here fancy coming
along?
After some searching, we've lighted on this one here. It's a full day, including lunch, and it's held in a pub in London near West Brompton tube, roughly every week or two. We were thinking of going on Sunday November 6th. The downside is that it costs a fairly eye-watering £99 per person, although that seems to be on the low end for these things. (Of the ones I found, only Vinopolis are cheaper, but they sound revolting -- for £20 they'll give you 10 wines, 4 "premium wines", 2 shots of absinthe and a gin cocktail. Bleargh.)
Anyway, if you're interested, drop me a line or leave a comment here.
