The Lansdowne Club in Mayfair was the venue for the second Livery ‘Call My Wine Bluff’ on 9 May.
Some 115 guests enjoyed a fabulous three-course dinner under the splendid barrel-vaulted ceiling of the Club’s Ballroom. Four mystery wines were introduced during the meal by the three wine experts, Jeremy Hill, Andy Cole and David Almeida of Vinotopia wine merchants, each giving an entirely plausible account of grape varieties and origins.

Of course, two of these were bluffs and the audience were enjoined to make a choice. All great fun.
The auction, amusingly conducted by Chris Mills, and raffle were hotly contested and raised over £8,500 for our Charitable Fund.

Credit must go to The Mistress Farmer, Terri Davies, who was instrumental in organising proceedings, ably assisted by the Clerk, Assistant Clerk and Senior Warden.
