Hitting the Bottle

[example22]

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!)]

Coo, I'm glad beer is my poison. Those one day courses sound horribly like balloon flights as birthday gift material, very pricey for what you get. I'd have thought a 6 week evening class would be more sociable, and useful, but no good for out-of-towners of course.
