Back in April of last year, we very sadly lost a long serving London Branch committee member, my younger brother, Keith Ellis. Keith was well known in the Branch and had regularly held tastings for the Society and is still sorely missed.
So, one year further on, we have decided to hold a tasting in his memory. Kindly donated by his wife, Sheila, these wines are from Keith’s own collection.
Whilst the wines all look in good shape, it is a varied collection and like Keith, could prove unpredictable. But please come along and join us to celebrate the life of one of our popular, long serving Branch members.
The wines to be tasted will be as follows:
2019 Côtes du Rhône Villages Vielles Vignes
2018 Vacqueyras, Domaine de L’ Espigouette
2012 Château Lanessan Haut Médoc
2011 Cantina di Negrar Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG
2008 Le Pigeoulet des Brunier Vin de Pays de Vaucluse
2006 Chȃteauneuf du Pape Vieux Télégraphe
2005 San Lorenzo Rosso Conero DOC Umani Ronchi
2004 Soumade Rasteau Côtes-du-Rhône Villages
2000 Chateau La Pointe Pomerol
1998 Chȃteau Laroze St Emilion Grand Cru Classé
A light buffet will accompany the tasting.
