WineTasters@HappyVines

is an informal group for wine lovers, who gather regularly at various pleasant locations for wine tastings followed (usually) by dinner with wines.

The Philosophy: Wine is to be enjoyed with good company & good food. The setting should be comfortable, relaxing and without undue pressure from anyone as to the "right" way. We seek only to discover the vast expanse of style, colour, flavour, taste and complimentary or contrasting match with foods. At the end, we seek to be happy & content with the company of friends and the wines & food thus consumed. No subscription, no fees. Pay the cost of each function when you wish to attend. Just e-mail the WebMaster that you wish to be informed of our activities.

The Sessions since 08th March 1997 .......
