Winchester Ladies Circle Wine-tasting Evening

Winchester Circlers recently enjoyed a very merry evening at the Terrace Bar of the University of Winchester’s Student Union where the Bar Manager, Tom Manville, hosted a wine-tasting evening.

Tom gave a brief talk about wines and then demonstrated how to appreciate wine quality by using a well-known, mid-priced white wine. Members were amused and highly entertained to learn that there were six parts to the appreciation of wine, and not just the pour-and-slurp that typified most social events!

The bar staff had also prepared a range of red, white and rosé wines for the girls to try, using the simple list of factors that Tom had shown them to look for.  The wines were supplemented by a variety of cheeses which really enhanced the wine-tasting, not to mention providing some lining for the generous samples of wine on offer!

Prospective circlers at the event also appeared to thoroughly enjoy themselves and have already indicated an interest in coming to more of the varied and fun events lined up in our programme.

This year Winchester has chosen the Winchester Stroke Association and the Winchester Young Carers Association as the charities to support. Winchester Circle is actively looking for new members so for a copy of the programme or for  more information on how to get involved, please contact Jo Woodland on 01962 863954, email This eMail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , or find us on Facebook under Winchester Ladies Circle.
