On the evening of Tuesday October 20th the Honourable Company held its annual wine tasting at The National Club. About 40 members and guests attended this exceptional event to sample exciting new wine releases Churchill Cellars with a tasting led by Chris Churchill himself.
After being greeted with a glass of Segura Viudas Brut Reserva Cava, our members were led through a tasting of three new release wines: Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay (California), Chateau Donissan Listrac (Medoc, France), and Angove Vineyard Select Cabernet Sauvignon (Australia). These excellent wines were generously donated by Churchill Cellars. Our members also enjoyed hot and cold hors d'oeuvres and a selection of fine cheeses to complement the wine selections.
In addition to the wines, The Honourable Company also held a silent auction with donations by Tom O'Carroll, John Bishop, Tom Foxcroft, John Welsh, Stephen Lautens and Peter Reed. The auction items included wine, liquor, a round of stilton cheese and a sailing cruise. A raffle prize of a $300 gourmet dinner for two was donated by The National Club.
The Honourable Company also welcomed several new members who received their certificates at the event, welcome to Harold Shepherd, Professor Jacqueline Stimson, Gerard Ezinwoke and Trevor Ward.
In addition to having an enjoyable evening of tasting wines, the event also raised funds for ‘The Honourable Company's' charitable fund.
