Founded in 1996, the aims of the club state “We should offer a group of friends the chance to meet various wine enthusiasts and hopefully broaden our knowledge of wines, but above all to enjoy ourselves”.

Meetings always include a tasting of at least 8 wines and a buffet supper. Membership also entitles members to a discount of 10% at Majestic Wine Warehouse in Aylesbury.

Champagne Trip
Brian Holt has details of the proposed Champagne trip in August 2009. We will have restricted numbers but the more people who come, the lower the price. If preferred, monthly instalments may be made to ease the payment. Please inform the chairman or a committee member of your intentions as soon as possible. This is a fantastic chance to sample the famous wines and fabulous food of this historic region and to bring back a case or two!
