WINE & CHEESE GATHERING GROUP
Leader: Michele Cornwell
The aim of the Wine and Cheese Gathering Group is fun and fellowship. It is not for any particular wine person but for all. More a tasting to expand our range with everyone’s views accepted and valued.
We try 3 wines and cheeses over about an hour and a half in a safe environment.
The Gathering takes place on the 2nd Wednesday of each Month from 3:00pm to 4:30pm.
SEE CALENDAR OF EVENTS FOR DETAILS.

August 2025
Wine and Cheese Group held on Wednesday 13th August 2025
The August Wine and Cheese Group was held at Phil and Dianne’s house in Lakelands. Four wines were tasted, first being a Vinho Verde from Portugal which was light and fruity. The next 3 wines were all from Spain, the Marques de Riscal Winery, with a Verdelho, followed by a Tempranillo Syrah and then a Sancho Garces Rioja Tempranillo. All very pleasant and affordable wines. This was accompanied by a Red Leicester, Dutch Gouda and Camembert cheeses plus 2 dips and crackers.
Between the wine tasting, Phil gave the Probian’s Guide to Wine, which included details about the bottle’s year, the label,sniffing the cork and other humorous antidotes.
The quiz was won by Pam Dagg and Alicia Martin.
The Wine and Cheese Group is held from 3pm to 4.30pm on the Wednesday after the Tuesday Probus meeting and the sign up sheet is at the meeting. The cost is $7 which you pay at the host’s house.
