We tasted 6 wines, 3 white and 3 red. The focus was on the 2 grape varieties from different countries so that we could compare and contrast the differences and decide what we each liked or didn\u2019t! We used a standard wine tasting method of looking at colour, smell and taste. We also identified the difference between \u2018old world\u2019 and \u2018new world\u2019 taste with a group favouring new world taste which tends to be more fruity and \u2018higher in alcohol\u2019!! It was fun deciding if you should drink or spit and I think on balance most decided to drink &#8211; are we surprised or not, I think not!!!&nbsp;  <br>The white grape was Chardonnay from France, California and Australia. The red grape was Malbec from France, Argentina and South Africa. Overall favourite was Kumala Reserve Malbec from South Africa  at \u00a37.50 from Tesco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A thoroughly pleasant evening!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/AE4FAEA3-26C3-4104-AD17-DEFBC6B740EF-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"759\" data-link=\"https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/?attachment_id=759\" class=\"wp-image-759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/AE4FAEA3-26C3-4104-AD17-DEFBC6B740EF-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/AE4FAEA3-26C3-4104-AD17-DEFBC6B740EF-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/AE4FAEA3-26C3-4104-AD17-DEFBC6B740EF-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/AE4FAEA3-26C3-4104-AD17-DEFBC6B740EF-624x468.jpeg 624w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/AE4FAEA3-26C3-4104-AD17-DEFBC6B740EF.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"577\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/47A5A0C7-3F71-4CD8-A792-7AEFADEC6D7A-577x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"760\" data-link=\"https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/?attachment_id=760\" class=\"wp-image-760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/47A5A0C7-3F71-4CD8-A792-7AEFADEC6D7A-577x1024.jpeg 577w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/47A5A0C7-3F71-4CD8-A792-7AEFADEC6D7A-169x300.jpeg 169w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/47A5A0C7-3F71-4CD8-A792-7AEFADEC6D7A-624x1108.jpeg 624w, https:\/\/southportwi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/47A5A0C7-3F71-4CD8-A792-7AEFADEC6D7A.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carol threw open the doors to her new home by hosting a Wine Tasting 12 members enjoyed a Come Dine with Me Wine Tasting in January.
