EVENT Sparkling Wine Tasting Challenge Evening
Yet another challenge to see just how good your taste buds are and how well you can remember tastes and smells (not a test of how well you know your wines!)
Rob Evison will give a short talk about how to taste wines and what to look for. You will then taste six sparkling wines with the labels visible so you’ll know what you’re tasting (you’ll have a tasting sheet to make notes).
Then three of the wines will be brought back one by one and tasted blind. Use your notes to identify the wines and record your choices on a slip of paper (make sure you keep yours well hidden!).
If there’s a draw for the most number of wines correctly identified, we’ll go to a sudden death “drink-off” – successful tasters compete to identify further wines, dropping out if incorrect, until there’s a winner.
The victorious champion will be awarded an appropriate prize to recognise their outstanding achievement.
Please advise if there are any non wine drinkers attending.
As on previous occasions there is no meal at this event, just some bread to cleanse your palate between tasting.
PRICE £15 Person
DETAILS Church Rooms, starting at 7pm
December 11th Brockenhurst and District Probus Club
4oth Anniversary Celebrations and Christmas Event led by Chris Panayi
We have watched the professionals dance in our Strictly production and we have learned how to party and it is now time to look forward to our gala event on Thursday 11th December 2025 celebrating our 40th Anniversary combined with our annual christmas meal.
We will be at Enzees where we will take over the restaurant for the evening.
Doors will open at 18:45 when you will be welcomed with something cold and bubbly (or a lovely refreshing NoProsecco if you wish)
19:15 we will sit for our meal and we will be serenaded by beautiful soft saxophone music
21:00 The Hummingbirds will start their first set in the events room. Those who will prefer to remain in the restaurant area, will be magically entertained by a surprise star.
23:00 The Hummingbirds will end the night's entertainment and fly back to their nests and we can go home entertained, tired and happy.
All this for £50 per person for club members, partners and widows of members and
£60 per person for guests
