Some of Team Rubber and friends attended a wine tasting night at Averys on Tuesday 10th, and it was very well received. Especially by me and Laura.
When we arrived we were greeted with a warm smile and a cold glass of champagne or two. Followed by a blind tasting of three stunning white wines accompanied with explanations of what to expect and why. It was interesting because not only did we have to work out the grape, but we were also challenged to figure out which country they were from and the price. Thankfully we had options for the first two questions, otherwise we would have been there all night. The rest of the evening was taken up by cheese, pate and bread and then the tasting of three red wines.
Along with the points awarded from the tasting we had a mini multiple choice quiz and I was overjoyed when my team, which was the smallest made up of myself, Alan and Tom called ‘Peach honey and the silks’ won. We were presented with a bottle of red Bordeaux.
