Not everyone has committed to the December Dinner. We want to make it a great evening so come on, make your commitment now and let us know.
Goodness gracious, December is upon us. What a great year it has been with a variety of great tastings and events throughout the year. It started with the usual very enjoyable January BBQ at Derek Thompson’s, then followed:
| Month | Theme |
|---|---|
| February | Coney Wines with Tim Coney |
| March | Mills Reef with Brandon Turnage |
| April | Central Otago Boutique Wineries with Neil Hickling of Co-Pilot Distributors |
| May | AGM at the Community Centre |
| June | Esk Valley with Gordon Russell |
| July | Mid Year Dinner at Tinakori Bistro |
| August | Murdoch James (Martinborough) V Olssens (Central Otago) – a comparison |
| September | Neudorf with Judy Finn |
| October | The World in Grapes with Malcolm McIntyre |
| November | Bubbles with John Forrest |
We hope the programme met with your approval.
This is the last newsletter for 2011. The Committee wishes all members the very best for the festive season and hopes for a more profitable new year than the economists are predicting.
Cheers
Robin Semmens, Editor
