9th June 2011. Wine tasting at Bacchanallia. What a wonderful evening with fabulous Chilean and Spanish wines plus food from fresh produce from Bacchnallia's own farm in Spain. We had the opportunity to learn about the art of wine tasting, taste some wonderful reds and whites and this with the most fabulous panoramic view over the River Thames of  the Tate Modern, the Globe Theatre and even the Shard in construction. Thanks to Alasdair and the management of Bacchanallia for a great evening. We look forward to next wine tasting.
