THIS YEAR'S MEETINGS

January: Wine, Beer and cheese tasting by Elaine; report by Wendy
The January meeting was a Cheese tasting with complimentary wine and beer. Elaine worked hard to choose some lovely wines and, indeed, some lovely cheeses to go with them. (Peter R helped pour the wine and beer for the 13 members.)
We started with a Riesling from Germany which was paired with Gruyere cheese. This was a very nice combination and things got better as the evening progressed. Next was a wheat beer with Wensleydale cheese, and after that it was back to wine and cheese combinations. I particularly liked the last wine and the mature cheddar but that may have been the accumulation of wine and cheese over an evening.
The wines, beer and cheese tasted were as follows:

Dr Loosen Riesling, Mosel	8.5%	2010	£7.29	Tesco	Gruyère
Schneider Weisse Wheat beer	5.4%		£1.99	Morrisons	Wensleydale
Domaine de Carrior Perrin Sancerre	12.5%	2006		3D wines	Abergavennay Goat's cheese

McWilliams Markview Heritage Series Shiraz	13.5%	2010	£5.00 offer (£8.99)	Tesco	Gouda
Cantine due Palme Trezanti Salento Negroamoro	12.5%	2009	£5 approx		Mature Cheddar

Elaine stated that Dickensian Evening had raised £200 for the breast cancer unit at Welwyn Garden City hospital as well as money for WWBC.
