This event brings together around 75 Tastourians

On
the first Tuesday of each month, join us at a local wine bar to share ideas and
tastes with other oenological enthusiasts.
This
event attracts 50-75 wine lovers – it’s bigger and more informal than a guided
Tastour tasting. We go to a lot of effort to ensure that the venue is easy to
get to, the right environment is created and everyone mingles.
What's New:
We have added a mini wine tasting, called a Tastour Tease! Each month, for 5 minutes you will learn a bit about wine, so that you can shop smarter and save money.
We also have added a little icebreaker to help you learn about the style of grapes. (see below for a member's blog)

What's A Tastour Tease?
Written by
Sarah,
Tastourian
Last Tuesday, I spent the evening meeting and
talking to
grapes…am I crazy? Was I trolleyed?!
Well,
definitely not nuts, nor were the 50
others who were there.
It was Tastour’s monthly social drinks - as we
went in, we
all chose a grape personality and got a sticker. I plumped
for ‘Pinot Grigio - I'm TRENDY -
I'm in all the bars, not always cheap, but I am EASY…drinking’. It
was hilarious! I met so many grape
people!!! I also met up with a few old
friends in the guise of Malbec ‘Rich and chococately, I am every girl’s
dream’
and Marsanne ‘Some consider me to be the finest in the world. Learning
about the grape styles was fun. I
even met my match - I mean, I met a chap who’d also chosen Pinot Grigio.
Did this mean we were soul-mates – Mr and
Miss Pinot Grigio - both trendy and playful?! We’ll see!
Although it was a social drinks night, there was
also a
mini-wine tasting – rather aptly named a Tastour Tease! So not just a
great
night with some fun people, but I learned something as well! At
the start of the evening, in small groups,
you were guided through your first glass of wine – this glass of wine
was free
when you arrived. We learnt a few tricks of trade about aromas. The
guide said that we’ll be tackling a
different subject every month. But it’s
whet my appetite – they’re running a Champagne tasting on 24th
April
and I’m going to sign up tonight. The
tasting was only 5 minutes, so there was plenty of time to get mingling,
buy
some more wine at the bar and test out my new-found smelling skills!
All in all, a grape night!!
