Call My Wine Bluff 2016 – Sat 7th May.

The Friends of St Mary Magdalene are delighted to be arranging another evening of "Call My Wine Bluff"on Saturday 7th May 2016 at Wardington Memorial Hall. The evening is lighthearted and fun and involves tasting six different wines. Each wine is described by three "experts", two of whom are bluffing, and it's up to you to decide which expert (bluffer) is telling the truth. You will form into teams of six and it's a great opportunity to meet new people, have fun with old friends and have a few glasses of wine. The tasting is followed by a delicious, home-cooked supper of Cottage Pie followed by cheese, with house red and white wine available to buy by the bottle. The
