Merle Kerr secured the RCYC Commodore’s Room (141 St. George Street) for a tasting of Spanish wines, imported and supplied to us by Artisanal Wine Imports.
Artisanal Wine Imports selected and donated the wines for an interesting tasting of unique Spanish wines. Artisanal prides itself on sourcing the special wines only to be found through travel and talk directly with the winemakers. All good for us.
Many thanks to our Board members who arranged this event:
Bob Yakimetz generously donated the wines.
Merle Kerr arranged the venue and the menu.
Our web site is open with menu, wine, location and payment details. Thank you Robert.
This was a good way to ease in to the new year and I hope you are able to join us.
A Pictorial history is included, We are sorry, if you missed it …
