U3A Castlemaine Wine
Appreciation Group - February 2021
The first Wine Appreciation night
for 2021 was held at the Mount Alexander Golf
Club on the 4th February.
There were 21 members in attendance and a great
night was enjoyed by all those present.
To help us all after many months of not being
able to meet the night concentrated on providing
the essentials characteristics of common
varieties of wine.
These varieties consisted of Pinot Grigio,
Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot
Noir, Merlot, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Some of the wines tasted received great reviews
and some not so well.
As an added aspect of the wines it was revealed
at the end of the night that all the wines were
obtained from Aldi. Given the retail price of
the wines it was agreed that all the wines were
great value for money.
The wine of the night was a Taylors Shiraz from
the Clare Valley.
