And Finally...

2010 has been a year of a few firsts for the Events Team; our first tasting at the Eden Project, our first Wine Show at Vinopolis, our first run-in with a volcanic ash cloud and both Jo and Will’s first tastings. It’s been a great year and we’re looking forward to seeing what 2011 brings.

Our 2010 highlights:

John –‘A fantastic evening aboard the HMS Warrior and our Lake District visits - looking forward to heading back with our Cumbria tasting in June.’
Will – ‘The Eden Project tasting. A brilliant venue and a great excuse to return to my home county!’
Ian – ‘Also the HMS Warrior and hosting a wine and dinner evening at Le Manoir alongside the first lady of New Zealand Wine, Jane Hunter’
Jo – The Vinopolis Show – I loved the festival buzz and spending a few days around Borough Market was great fun!’

The most popular wine from across our 2010 tastings has got to be the Pillastro Selezione d’Oro which has wowed our customers across the UK every time we’ve shown it this year… It’s certainly one to keep you warm this winter!

Thank you to every one who has come along to one of our events this year – we’ve really enjoyed doing them and hope that you had a great time too!

We’ve got lots of exciting new locations (Brighton, Godalming & North Wales, to name a few) and some old favourites (HMS Warrior, Lincoln and the Lake District) already booked up for 2011. Our first one is at the end of January at STEAM - Museum of the Great Western Railway in Swindon… Let’s hope the weather improves by then!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The Events Team
