Ashfield U3A Wine Appreciation Group

The group's aim is to develop members' knowledge and enjoyment of wine through formal and informal tastings of wines, by specified groups or grape varieties. Hopefully, the evenings will have an informal and friendly, sociable structure and be rotated around the homes of members. The cost of wines will be limited to an agreed budget each month and will be shared amongst members. The group normally meets on the second Wednesday of the month. Further details may be obtained from the co-ordinator, John Ellis. Telephone 01623-620743.
