December Wine Appreciation - Bring out your Dead

Gentlemen,

At the last Wine Group Meeting, there was general agreement that we should try something different for December 6th (an almost Xmas event) hence the early notice.

Instead of the normal hosted affair, we should try a “Bring Out Your Dead” event.  Many of us have wines we have had stored away for a long time and don’t know what to do with them.  We cant bring ourselves to throw it out but we’re not brave enough to open it with friends in case it is past its best.  These are our “dead” wines.

If you have such a wine this event is meant for you.  All Members attending the next event are encouraged to bring along a wine they think might be past its best but on the other hand might just be great.

Of course, not everyone hoards wine, so I expect some wont have anything to share.  That’s fine, as I am sure there will be plenty to go around.  If you don’t have an old wine you should still attend and just enjoy yourself.  Please do not go out and buy something.

For this evening we will serve more food than usual but there wont be a charge for wine.  The evening cost will be $10/head for the food and we will increase the number of attendees to 20.  The “dead wine” will be considered a donation.

If you intend to participate in the “Bring out Your Dead” event by bringing a wine please email me at slkeenihan@gmail.com so that I can get some idea of the number and type of wines we can expect and fill any gaps.  Otherwise please purchase a ticket as normal.

As a word of warning, as this is a social event you may imbibe more wine than usual.  Our Beathalyser will be on hand but you are reminded to drink responsibly and certainly don’t Drink and Drive
