              **WINE & CHEESE GATHERING GROUP**

                                          Leader: Michele Cornwell

The aim of the Wine and Cheese Gathering Group is fun and fellowship. It is not for any particular wine person but for all. More a tasting to expand our range with everyone’s views accepted and valued.

We try 3 wines and cheeses over about an hour and a half in a safe environment. 

The Gathering takes place the 2^nd Wednesday of each Month from 3:00pm to 4:30pm.

                          SEE CALENDAR OF EVENTS FOR DETAILS.

April 2024

At the gathering of this group on 11^th April, twenty-one members sampled wines from New Zealand –focusing on the North Island which is the country’s second largest wine growing region. The group tasted two wines (a Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) from Martinborough, followed by a Merlot (from Hawke’s Bay) and a Cuvee Brut (with grapes from Hawke’s Bay and Marlborough). These wines were paired with cheddar cheeses from Scotland, and Cape Naturalist, a gruyere from Switzerland and a brie from the Adelaide Hills. The least expensive wine – the Merlot – was the preferred one by consensus. It reinforces that high price is not always equated with high quality!  The next gathering of the group will be at the home of Fran and Garry Sounness on Wednesday 15^th May.
