The first benefit of membership is a regular newsletter and commentary sent to you by e-mail. Jon writes his personal view of the wine world, and aims to supply you with interesting snippets and information although he admits that an occasional tirade or prejudice may elbow its way in now and again.
There are also regular free wine tastings, usually held in a local hotel. These are not in any way formal or intimidating, we just put out the wines we have selected, give you a glass and let you work your own way around. We are there to talk about the wines (or anything else) but we do not make a formal presentation or try to preach about them, we prefer to let the wines speak for themselves.
Most times we arrange an optional fixed price meal in the hotel afterwards to make the whole evening more special, and usually most people do stay for the meal which makes a very pleasant social event. The wines are offered at a special discount for orders placed on the night.
We also put on regular promotions for Tasting Club members offering special deals or discounts, details of these in the newsletters.

South African Tasting Thursday 26th November - 04/11/2009
We have been working at expanding our range of South African wines recently and have tasted dozens of them so that we can bring you just the absolute gems. We are bringing the collection together for a themed tasting which will be at the Coquetvale Hotel on Thursday 26th November at 7pm.
Not only has the quality of South African wines increased by leaps and bounds over recent years but fortunately for us the Rand has been nearly as badly hit as Sterling so it is about the only country whose wines have not gone up significantly just because of exchange rate issues, hence their current bargain status.
I very much hope to see you there, as ever the tasting is free and there will be discounts for orders placed on the night. If you would like to stay for a meal afterwards the amazing price of £18.50 per head still buys you a three course meal including wine. After our last tasting the meal was such a success that the staff eventually had to chuck us out so that they could go home!
Please let us know if you are coming, either by replying to this e-mail or by phoning Lindsey on 01669 620965 or best of all drop in to the shop.
This will be our last tasting before Christmas and some of the wines would complement the seasonal meals perfectly, so do not miss out - be there.
