Storming the Bastille

On July 14th Tongham Tasters’ will be celebrating French National Day by trying 6 French wines, each selected by a different member of our tasting group. We would love you to join us, but spaces are strictly limited to 14 and as we have a lot of interest for this one give me a call or send an email early to guarantee your place. Food will be more substantial for this event and we will be having a starter, main course and dessert, all following the French theme. If we are lucky, Jane and Jean-Michel will have taught us how to sing La Marseillaise by the end of the evening! Venue as usual is Tongham, this month in Grange Road.

A reminder of the wines we are having at this event and who is buying them:

Sheila - A bottle of Champagne or other French sparkling wine up to the value of £20.
John S - A bottle of dry white Burgundy or Loire wine up to the value of £18.
Myself - A bottle of red Burgundy up to the value of £20.
Clive - A bottle of red Bordeaux up to the value of £15.
Steve S - A bottle of red Rhone or Languedoc wine up to the value of £12.
Ian - A bottle of sweet white dessert wine from the Loire or Bordeaux up to the value of £15.

In addition, I will put a few bottles in reserve as it looks like we are going to have a good attendance again this time.  Hopefully, Jean-Michel is bringing along one of Dominique's lovely desserts.

If you want to join in the fun just ring John on 07717 876743 or email Tonghamtaster@gmail.com. Remember we equally welcome faces old and new, so give us a try. As usual we will be sharing the cost of the evening which may be slightly more than the normal £10 for this evening.

Future Tongham Tasters wine tastings wil include "Old World versus New World" in August, "Best Wines Under £10" in September and "The Joy of Ceps" in October. Do join us!
