Mediterranean weather combining with a Scalby Fair tradition made for a guaranteed splendid evening in the capable hands of our regular Sommelier, Linda Dowson.
For the capacity crowd gathered in the Nag’s Head beer garden, she had selected a French sparkling starter followed by three whites (Argentina, Spain & Alsace) and three reds (Spain, Portugal & France).
All wines were thoroughly enjoyable and went well with the cheese and meat platters supplied by the Nag’s Head.
The Scalby Fair Chairman brought proceedings to a close by thanking Linda for another super event and this was endorsed by a round of applause from the happy throng.
