Saturday 17 September - an evening of wine.

I was hosting the Wine Evening tonight so today was spent getting the house ready and shopping for the food. As we'd spent the last few weekends giving the house a good clean and decorating there wasn't that much for me to do, so I was finished by 2pm which was a bonus!

The evening was very good with some very good wines, most of which came from Chile even though the theme was South America. The overall winner was a Chilean red - the Sunrise Merlot 2010 from Concha y Toro and available in Waitrose. I gave the winning couple a game of Russian Roulette played with chocolates, one of which contained chilli which was hilarious as the lady who ate it didn't even realise at first! It was a late night (the last couple went home at just after 1am) but it was very enjoyable!
