Tasting wine in Johnsonville since 1980.
The usual start to our year with the BBQ at Derek Thompson’s.
A beautiful day and a good turn-out of members plus a few visitors.
As ever we must thank Derek for his hospitality and generosity. This is a great place to have a BBQ and we are very fortunate that Derek makes it available. He even opened his magnum of Gladstone Pinot Noir (won during the Gladstone tasting). A lovely drink for a sunny afternoon.
What a great tasting on offer. Miss it at your peril. You will note that the door cost is a little higher than usual. This is to ensure that members have the opportunity to taste great wines from a top producer. Enjoy.
GladstoneAt the Gladstone tasting last month the winery set up a draw for any members purchasing case lots. On offer was a magnum of their 2009 Reserve Pinot Noir. This draw was won by Derek Thompson. Congratulations Derek.
Cheers
