Teddington Wine Society - the Adriatic @ St Mary's Parish Hall
The Adriatic separates Italy from the Balkans and emerges as the Ionian sea into the Mediterranean near Corfu.  Wine growing regions abound along both coastlines and we will be able to contrast cool elegant white wines made from the Verdicchio variety in le Marche with rich whites made from indigenous varieties in Istria and Dalmatia, while Montepulciano d’Abruzzo offers a superb contrast to the robust reds of Puglia, and the incredible Nebbiolo-like Xinomavro grape variety of Northern Greece.
Tim Syrad, who has 25 years experience of running wine tastings, runs Richmond and Teddington Wine Societies, which meet monthly.  Tim is a fervent advocate that wine is to be enjoyed without snobbery. Whether you are a complete novice or an experienced taster, there will be plenty to learn and enjoy.

“Throughout the 17 years I have attended Tim’s wine tasting events, he has continued to deliver his extensive knowledge of wine and wine-making with great charm, and lots of humour, making the evenings not only informative, but also great fun. In the course of an average year, the tastings cover a kaleidoscope of different wine themes – interesting and entertaining for all, novices and experts alike. And the wines taste pretty good too!”

Roger Heron – Richmond

“We have been going to Teddington Wine Society events for a number of years. Tim runs the evenings with bonhomie and humour and wears his considerable knowledge lightly. The evenings are great fun, the wines are always a little bit different and help to expand knowledge and tasting horizons.”

Fred Squire – Teddington

“I have attended the Richmond Wine society for over ten years and always enjoyed Tim’s self-effacing style and gentle humour. His knowledge is globally eclectic and presented in a clear, interesting and always stimulating way. Every guest I have taken there has enjoyed the evening immensely. Tim also offers a wide range of wines to buy and my red cellar has provided great pleasure to my own dinner guests.”

Stephanie Campbell, Richmond

“I’ve been enjoying Tim’s tastings for over 20 years – he is a great teacher, raconteur and wine expert. He is seriously passionate about his wine, but there is nothing serious about his tastings, which are always informal and relaxed. A lovely way to spend an evening and enjoy some fantastic wines.”

Bernard Norman, Kew
