WineDater News no.9

Well a Happy New Year to you all!

We hope you've had a great festive season and have made your resolution that 2009 is the year to get out and meet 'the one' - and of course have lots of fun finding them! So start as you mean to go on and join WineDater's next event:

WineDater - Wine Tasting for Singles - £30pp
 

8pm, Thursday 19th February @ Mansion House Bar, 44 Cannon Street, EC4 We're very excited to be running our first event at this corking venue in the heart of the City and you'll be pleased to hear we're completely ignoring the marketing gimmick that is Valentine's.  There won't be a rosé in sight (groan)!

We'll be in the bar from 7pm so come along for a drink or two and warm up for the event starting at 8pm.  The format will follow the success of our recent events - you'll be in small groups, changing for each wine so you'll get to meet everybody.  Once again, for your entertainment (and of course education!), WineDater's Nic and Nige will battle it out to convince you that their palate is right - you'll have to decide who is telling the truth and who is bluffing.  As usual, the WineDater who gets the most right wins a bottle of Champers.  Nice. www.WineDater.co.uk/events.aspx

Remember we only show quality wines and we really do aim for you to leave, if not for someone on your arm (!), then at least knowing a little more about wine than you did when you arrived.
 

WineDater Hits the Little Screen
 

Our last event was a splendid affair, which was lucky as it was all filmed by Current TV which should be aired early this year on t'internet.  It may even make it to their new TV channel and we'll be posting the video on our site soon. Photos of the event can be viewed at www.winedater.co.uk/photogallery8.aspx

 We held it at a regular WineDater venue - The Hide, Bermondsey Street, SE1.  Thanks again to those guys who kept serving those great cocktails until the wee hours.  We think there was some luvin' in the air that night!

3 Minute Wine School

 
WineDater's Nic has been working on a fab new project in her other guise at the Wine & Spirit Education Trust.  Nic's produced a number of short videos as The 3 Minute Wine School hosted by Jancis Robinson MW.  You'll get the low down on key grape varieties and wine producing countries in easy to digest three minute chunks (it's not just a clever name!).  These are free and can be viewed on-line at www.wsetglobal.tv
 
 
As usual we're keen to hear from you on any topic - whether it's to share a wine you've enjoyed recently or an event you'd like us to host contact us at info@WineDater.co.uk  Otherwise we look forward to seeing many of you on the 19th.
 
That's all folks.
