At the June meeting the ladies of WI lite were treated to an evening of wine tasting with the very knowledgeable wine guru Carol Whitehead. Carol talked the group through a number of different wines including an English wine from the vineyard Chapel Down and wines from Argentina and Portugal.
Carol explained how to measure the different qualities of the wines by studying the colour of the wine, checking it for clarity and of course a good sniff of the bouquet. The tasting itself was good fun and we learnt about tasting out tannins in the wine, why you might drink organic wines and what makes some wines drier than others. Carol also gave some insight as to what foods and dishes would work well with the various wines.
The group all agreed it was a very educational talk and very interesting to try something different to what they might drink at home. All of the wines tasted are available to purchase at Waitrose in Warminster.
