Along the road, our new British member David told us on organic wines with tasters of a Chiliean and Italian organic wine. It was very informative and certainly gave us food for thought about our carbon footprint.
In Tampere there was a good crowd to hear Gerald McAllister tell us about 7 different wines for the Christmas season. Among many other things we learned the 5 important s's of wine tasting: scrutinize, swirl, sniff, sip and spit/swallow.
The German sekt recommended to go with Christmas pudding was the ladies' favourite.
And some Tampere-Turku socialising got going as well - especially 'in the back row'!
A good time was had by all. Thank you Tampere society for inviting us, and providing all the wines and nibbles, too. Welcome to our beer tasting in January!
