A Tasting from a Member’s Cellar   

Here is a unique opportunity to taste wines from the cellar of our long established member Richard Duncan.   He spent many years in the wine trade and has a superb collection.

The wines to be tasted tonight will be as follows

 Sherry V.V.O. Oloroso – Sandeman Hmas Cia
 1970 Cahors Clos de Gamot – Jouffreau et Fils
1999 Nuits-St-Georges Clos des Porrets-St Georges – Domaine Henri Gouges
 1999 Volnay Champans – Domaine Marquis d’Angerville
 1983 Chateau d’Issan , Margaux
 1985 Chateau d’Issan , Margaux
 1991 Ridge California Geyserville
 1991 Ridge California Zinfandel Lytton Spring
 1989 Vouvray Le Marigny Selection Grains Nobles moelleux – Domaine des Aubuisieres
 1995 Vouvray Le Marigny moelleux – Domaine des Aubuisieres
 1976 Chateau Rieussec Sauternes
 1953 JohannIsburger Mauerchen Trockenbeerenauslese 

The sherry is a super rich one, so you will need a palate cleanser!  The Rieussec is included as an interesting contrast to the two Loires, not least since it has always been deemed unusually dark coloured as they now are.  The Cahors is a total oddity with a history, but its drinkability may not be guaranteed, as in a different way is the Johannisburger!

The wines will be tasted in pairs, and presented by Richard himself in conjunction with Chris Davenport Jones.  For those who want even more wine there will be a couple of magnums of mature Rhones to drink afterwards with the remainder of the food!  It should be a fascinating evening.

A cold buffet will be provided, with cold meats, bread, cheese and salad.
