On 3rd November, we hosted our annual wine tasting at Jesus Collage, Cambridge. With over a hundred different wines available, our guests had the opportunity to sample an eclectic mix of wines from around the world. We felt it was also important to have the 2015 and the new 2016 vintages on display for many of the wines to allow guests to compare the two. The 2016 vintage has delivered quite interesting results, with notable variety from region to region due to the rather diverse weather some areas in France .

Not exercising consistently can lead to muscle atrophy, diabetes, bone density loss, and other problems. But sometimes, we simply can’t find the time to exercise for a few days. So if it’s been a few days since you hit the gym, there may be a way to help slow down the damage from not exercising: some red wine. A recent study published in the Journal of the American Societies for Experimental Biology suggests that .

On the last Saturday of January Francois Janoueix of Château Lafleur Saint Jean, Bordeaux, hosted a special wine evening at Rudding Park. It was a resounding success. Thank you Francois for a lovely evening.
