Vin Neuf Summer Wine Tasting

Relaxing with a glass of Dandelion Shiraz 

Every year Vin Neuf arranges a summer walkabout wine tasting. Around 40 are on show and nibbles are sent round created by Hillers . Hillers run the most fabulous farm shop but now have an over subscribed restaurant and beautiful gardens. It is a lovely event which this year had the advantage of one of the balmiest evenings so far.

I had come with Anne and Vicky which made for a very merry and relaxed event. This was added to by meeting old friends and catching up, the icing on the cake, you forget how important these people are to you. They all add up to me! 

The evening was spent sipping, nibbling and strolling. To top the evening however Vin Neuf had entered everyone automatically into a raffle draw which had the one prize of a Jeroboam of Montrose Rose wine . To my utter, utter astonishment I actually had the surreal moment of hearing my name being called and I had WON. To say I was happy, oh yes I was, I don't win!! but I DID.....hugs for everyone, no shame from me.  Envy : ) did crawl out of the woodwork afterwards with continued comments regarding my win, of course all done tongue in cheek.Thank you for another fabulous evening James and Vin Neuf, and thank you to everyone who just made a perfect event.
