TASTINGS
Wednesday 18th March - Penny Barnes - Wines of the Saints
​​
Greetings Members and Friends
​​
For our March meeting meeting we are pleased to welcome Penny Barnes to present to us.
​
Penny has been a longstanding member of the IBM club and a stalwart of the current NHWS, she has numerous qualifications from the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET).
Penny has titled her presentation "Wines from the Saints" - if you have ever wondered why so many wines or wine regions have "Saint" in their name, this is the evening for you to find out.
​
Penny's summary is:-
​
FRENCH SAINTS
​
A pilgrimage around various French vineyards checking whether the wine deserved to be canonised.
There may be tales of martyrs, benevolence and heroes too!
​
This promises to be a great evening, with intrigue and tales to be told as well as wines to be tasted.
​
We are, as ever limited to 32 places so early booking is advised.
​
In addition, if you have not yet renewed your membership please take this as a gentle reminder.
