Teddington Wine Society - Bordeaux @ St Mary's Parish Hall
Bordeaux has dominated the world of wine for centuries.  The famous classification of 1855 merely documented what was already known, that the Médoc peninsula has some of best terroirs in the world, and in the following 100 years it came to epitomise wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.  But times change and Bordeaux has increasingly been challenged by new regions with more reliable climates, while becoming a victim of its own success, producing more wine that it can sell.  The good news for us is that the Bordelais’ response to these headwinds has been to focus on quality and better value for money, and whether white, rosé, sparkling or red, they are producing wonderful wines at reasonable prices.
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
