The Wine And Food Society of Western Australia - AGM
25 June 2011
Lamont's Restaurant - Cottesloe
The society hosted their 2011 AGM at Lamont's this year and we had a magical evening. As always, the food was excellent and the service attentive.
As this was the AGM, I tried to make the wines memorable and, by all accounts, I succeeded. The highlights for me were the Penfolds Bin 920 and the Louis Jardot Corton Charlemagne which was very kindly donated by John Jens from Lamont's.
Also a highlight was the 1970 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. This wine was donated to the society by Michael Tamburi from La Vigna.
Congratulations to the our new committee members who were elected on the night. They include
-
