The night is upon us for the NEWTS winter meal @NCL_Lifestyle . 33 people (but likely closer to 50 bottles) will be soon arriving, hopefully for a top evening of food & socialising!

September at NEWTS was the maiden tasting for Phil R. - and boy did he do well!
So much so, that our resident wannabee author @NorthEastWino dusted off his blog-writing kit and put together an article!

An epic set of wines, highly recommend seeking these out if you’d like to try something original, delicious and different. #Timorasso

Huge thanks to Geoff for taking us through this snapshot showing the huge diversity of styles in the wonderful region of #Alsace - thoroughly enjoyed by the society and not a red in sight! 😬👏🏻 🥂 🇫🇷

Oh my. There were also more ‘regular’ wines tonight, but these were fascinating glimpses into the past of the south of Italy. Thanks to Steven for sourcing.
Last night was a fascinating tasting of amphora wines 🏺 by @NorthEastWino . Some orange, some natural, some classical, all interesting. Including the very rarely seen grapes Cartoixa Vermell and Castets, amongst many.

Morning.
The time has finally come, the application is live for the Malmo Quay Tower Block.
There’s far too much to say over Twitter so we’ve written a little blog about where everything is at…

Wonderful South African tasting from long-term member Ken tonight, and nary a Pinotage or rubbery-red in sight. The mini-vertical of Kanonkop Estate Cab (2012-14) was superb - the ‘14 was too young, but the 13 and 12 were delightful!

We welcomed the North East Wine Tasting Society for a great night last night. @NCLCollege @NorthEastWino Here’s Kye excitedly serving a nice bottle of Krug – at Newcastle Upon Tyne, England
Superb evening @NCLCollege for the society festive dinner, great service and lovely food. Some of the wines brought by members were rather special too,..
Great start to 2020 with @greignotgreg taking us through Galicia. Safe to say, it's not what the society expected 👍

Superb evening @BlackfriarsRest Banquet Hall...better than we could have hoped for, great food, superb service and a great turnout from the Society. Some of the wines flowing around were simply sublime, as usual!
Nearly time for our Christmas dinner @BlackfriarsRest tonight, a new venue for the Society and we have high hopes!
