Greetings to all members of the West Suffolk Fine Wine Society! I hope that you are all keeping safe as our troubled times continue towards winter. I’m sure that, like me, you will have been missing our programme of tastings, meals and other events. Just before lockdown in March we had finalised our new website and begun to use it, but of course all the information on it soon became redundant as everything had to be cancelled. We had the opportunity now, though, to make good use of the website as a means of communicating with each other with news and views relevant to our shared interests in wine, food and travel.

Starting from now, we will be publishing information, reviews and recommendations regularly here on the website – and you are all invited to contribute. Topics might include individual wines you have discovered and can recommend; good suppliers of wines and special offers; restaurants you have visited and provide great food in a safe environment; trips or days out which you can recommend – and even recipes and so on. Contributions don’t need to be particularly lengthy or literary, but just something that is likely to interest other members.

If you would like to contribute please email me at: wynn.rees@btinternet.com. Give the piece a title and the name of the author. I will act as sub-editor and make sure that any typos etc are corrected before publication. I look forward to hearing from you – and in the meantime please check the website regularly for updates.

With best wishes,

Wynn
