A date for your diary: May 3rd tasting with James Nicholson JN Wine 8pm Ramada by Wyndham, Belfast. James will present us with a personal selection of wines from a fantastic portfolio and from his personal experiences in the world of wine. Unmissable!

And finish by tasting 100% Pinot Meunier Champagne from interesting, small producer, Laurent Lequart!

Thought for the day: “Alone in the vegetable kingdom, the vine makes the true savour of the earth intelligible to man” (Colette – 'Prisons et Paradis')

Happy to say NIWSI carries on this fine tradition of claret drinking. Join us as we explore wines from around the world.

Thanks to UnitedWines sponsoring Ulster Press Golf outing Bangor Golf Club tomorrow. I will be there in spirit, raising a glass of wine, and hoping to be back golfing soon.
