Miss Clare Brazier, Head of Commercial
Parents, staff and Woldingham Wine Club members enjoyed a relaxed and informative evening at our Wine Tasting event on Thursday 9 October. Our guest expert for the evening was Pierre from Top Selection, one of the country’s most admired family-owned independent importers and distributors of premium wines and spirits. Pierre brought a selection of white and red wines for us to taste, including some from lesser known regions such as Tokaj and Juznoslovenska, and guided us on style, wine making techniques, and the characteristics of the six wines, as well as recommending the perfect food pairings.
After lots of discussion throughout this every enjoyable evening, which also raised money for Woldingham’s bursary programme, we finished with a vote on our favourite white wine and favourite red wine. The winning white, by an overwhelming majority, was a Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon blend from Western Australia, whilst the clear majority red was a Syrah, Merlot and Grenache blend from the Languedoc region.
It was a wonderful evening and we look forward to coming together again for the next Woldingham Wine Club event.
