Wine Tasting: A tour of South Africa

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Members of the Wine tasting group visited Wine Time at Scatchards last evening for the latest foray into experiencing wines from different wine producing areas of the world. It was lovely to see several new U3A members who joined us for the outing. This time we sampled 6 wines from South Africa, including a red which apparently is never sold in SA as the British market takes 95% of its stock! Having quaffed samples of 2 whites, a rose and 3 reds accompanied by cheese, meats and olives, the conversation flowed as easily as the wine. Thanks once again to George and Mo for organising the tasting and providing the nibbles. I wonder where our next sampling will take us?

  1. Hi Peter. The wine tasting group is run by George Birchall. He organises a tasting every couple of months. As yet, there is no date for the next one. The tastings are advertised on the website and also at the Tuesday coffee morning. Bookings are made directly with George at the coffee morning and generally he takes payment at the time of booking. Return taxi transfers are usually available from Maghull Square. I hope this information helps and you can join us at the next event.

    • Thanks Mark,I’ll be in touch with George and watch over the website
      I like the idea of the outings, A and O have also a wine group, but not impressed
      Very clikky , all sat in their own special groups, I don’t like that.

      Regards Peter
