The group is stickly wine tasting and not wine drinking. Each member is expected to lead a meeting and talk about the wines they have selected. Wine costs are shared amongst the member present.

Wine Tasting Group's Christmas Dinner at the Vermont We left from Dow House and were transported by coach to the Vermont, Newcastle. The coach was very roomy and comfortable, with Christmas music wafting through the air, it certainly added to the [...]
Wine Tasting Update - March 2022 Like all our groups COVID put a stop to our wine group meetings. Shame! Our last meeting being early March 2020 before the pandemic took hold. When legally allowed in 2021 we met outside in the garden. Fortunately, the weather was [...]

Our wine tasting group meets on the first Thursday of each month. There are twenty members in the group. Unfortunately, to date, we can't accommodate any new members as holding a discussion with twenty already proves difficult once a glass or two of wine has lubricated the tongues of [...]
Our last tasting of 2015, I think it was the best tasting yet! Nineteen of us gathered at our usual spot on a rather windy winter’s night. Gordon yet again has worked wonders, for our delight and tasting, he pulled out of the bag 9 bottles of champagne, [...]
Seventeen members of the Wine Tasting Group paid an evening visit to the Newcastle Wine School, where we enjoyed food from a tasting menu. The food was very good, the beef was just a little overdone, but this did not spoil a thoroughly enjoyable evening! The choice of wine [...]
