members and guests attended the tasting, which was conducted by Manfred Schwencke, a member of more than 40 years standing. Manfred took us through a well-chosen range from this relatively new wine-producing area; impressing us all with
the depth of his knowledge, lightly borne. As he pointed out, Margaret River contributes a small part of total Australian wine production, but a disproportionate part of Australia's most highly rated wines, offering closest comparisons amongst the Cabernet Sauvignons for example, to classed
Bordeaux. In an entertaining and educational discussion, we appraised three whites (Woody Nook Sauvignon '03, Pierro Semillon Sauvignon LTC '03 and Voyager Chardonnay '01) and four reds (Green Valley Cab. Sauv '00, Moss Wood Glenmore Cab. Sauv '00, Moss Wood
Ribbon Vale Cab. Merlot'01 and Evans & Tate Shiraz *01). An excellent Australian buffet dinner concluded another

There was even a short questlon-and-answer session to enable those present to "pick his brains" for ideas! Getting into the mood for Christmas is such a lovely idea, and has always thrilled the members and guests who attend this traditional event.
