    Tasting - Confidant Wines

    7:45 - 9:45 pm

    Venue: Johnsonville Community Centre Hall, 30 Moorefield Rd, Johnsonville, Wellington 6037 - Directions 
    Entry fee: Members $15 Guests $19
    Presenter: Victor Kattenbelt

    As you may be aware, this month’s tasting was going to be from Bald Hills of Central Otago. Their company has decided that they will not present to the public while Omicron is circulating so widely, so this tasting to us has been postponed.

    The Club has been fortunate to be able to secure Victor and Confidant Wines for our evening with only a week’s notice. We are not sure of the precise make-up of the wines for the evening at this time, so come along for a surprise evening and enjoy.

    Confidant Wines is a small (boutique) local importer of Portuguese wines in Wellington distributing the well-regarded Casa Santos Lima winery and a range of notable NZ wineries that are available in selected retail outlets and a number of Wellington restaurants.

    Victor Kattenbelt has been around the Wellington wine scene for a number of years and travels to Europe most years, for wine trade expos in France, Netherlands and Germany, and to visit his suppliers in Portugal. He last presented to us in August 2020.
