March 22, 2012
Theme Three MainGrapes - The Benson Cup
Venue The Lansdowne Club
Location 9 Fitzmaurice Place, Green Park, W1J 5JD
Date Mar 22, 2012
Time 7:00 pm

By popular request this year’s Benson Cup returns to the same format as last year with all wines fromFrance. It should prove a good fun challenge in identifying very fine wines from traditional grape varieties whilst at the same time representing the educational experience that several have requested. Moreover this is an exceptional chance to taste some fine and rare wines. 

There will be three main red grape varieties - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. The wines will be served in three flights of three wines; one Cabernet Sauvignon, one Merlot and one Syrah. Your challenge will be to identify which wine is which. Sounds easy doesn’t it? Last year’s winner, Richard Grieve will be defending his title and hopes to retain the magnificent cup for this event donated by our Chairman Jeffrey Benson. 

The wines chosen are all representative of their grape varieties and are all top range classic wines in very good years but the vintages will only be revealed to participants on the night.
