Hitting the Bottle

Georgina, 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.

[Edit: Changed Saturday to Sunday (doh!)]

[livejournal.com profile] sielis and I would be interested: is that Saturday the 5th or Sunday the 6th?

Hi - as discussed last week, would love to join you but a Sunday will be impossible until next year as I have to drive to Swansea that day and alcohol of any type is right out. Any chance you can arrange this for a Saturday?? (Sorry it's taken so long to submit this post - I've had to arrange my new apartment in Swansea and do a hundred other things. Managing a team is NOT simple!). Do let me know the latest plan -please by email not LJ. I just don;t have the spare time to read the posts now. Sorry!
