Conquering Vini Italiani

9 June 2016

This year’s annual Corkscrew Society dinner was another fantastic evening of delicious food delicious Italian wine (courtesy of Ted Sandbach at the Oxford Wine Company) and a brilliant exploration of Italian wine (courtesy of the Society’s guest speaker, Mr Robinson).
The event was the culmination of a year’s worth of evenings learning how to appreciate wine and its diversity which this year has been run by Mrs Hill-Hall and myself and represents an aspect of life at Stowe which is unique in its attention to detail and dedication to the broadest possible education.

As well as dinner, Mr Robinson’s talk and the wines, the annual competition for the highly prized bottle of Château Latour was won this year by Johannes Henkel (Upper Sixth, Chatham). The bottle was presented by Mr Ben Mercer who will be taking over as Master in Charge of the Society in September.

Special thanks must be made to Mrs Hill-Hall who, as ever, is the linchpin that allows the wheels of the Society to turn so smoothly.
