In January of each year it is time to clean out the society’s wine cellar. Each function held usually requires a minimum of 3 bottles of the same wine to be served at any one time. Inevitably there comes a time in our vast cellar there are single bottles of wines that remain.
There are two dinners held in January that are called our “Single Bottle Nights” where only 12 members are able to attend. The Winemaster and the President get the night off and the wines are served to members by the Vice President and the Secretary. Some of the wines are remarkable and some are unremarkable.
This is the list of wines served at the dinner held at the wonderful restaurant Scorpi, in Carlton on 23rd January 2019.
