RIPE, fruity and quaffable were words on the lips of members (above), their families and friends, who went to a wine tasting at a local vineyard.
Four wines from grapes produced in Wickham were sampled along with a tasty selection of canapés. Three of the wines were white, one of them sparkling, and the fourth was rose.
The event was held at Webbsland, an eight-acre vineyard where the grapes grown and used in the making of the wine are of Wurzer, Reichensteiner, Bacchus, Pinot Noir and Dornfelder.
Organised by club member Kathleen Durning, (fourth from right, almost hidden from view in the picture above) proceeds from the evening, just over £200, will go to Rowan’s Hospice and Gosport and Fareham Women’s Aid refuges.
