May Events
1983 was a vintage that produced a large crop of high quality wines largely due to the hot dry weather throughout September and October. Immediately following the great 1982 vintage this year has been somewhat ignored. However in the Medoc particularly some estates produced better wines than in 1982.
Tonight we have selected a superb range of 9 wines covering the right and left bank of Bordeaux and these are as follows:
Château Monbousquet – St Emilion
Château Monbrison - Margaux
Château St Pierre – St Julien
Château La Lagune – Ludon
Château d’Angludet – Margaux
Château Grand Puy Lacoste – Pauillac
Château Mouton Baronne Phillippe – Pauillac
Château Cos d’Estournel – St Estephe
The tasting will be led by Jeffrey Benson who has supplied these wines from his own cellar.

Malabar Junction is a South Indian restaurant with a real difference. The interior of the ground floor restaurant is much larger than you’d expect and the décor is very tasteful – in fact more like a French restaurant in a conservatory setting with its elegant glass domed ceiling and greenery.
Malabar Junction offers a combination of authentic Cochin, Malabar and Travancore cuisine in the Keralian tradition, drawing attention to the fundamental difference between North and South Indian food. As you’d expect, many Keralian dishes are based on seafood and fish. However the difference is that the cuisine is rich, gently spiced and tasty without being mouth-searingly hot and blasting like North Indian food.
Although the restaurant has meat and vegetarian dishes their speciality is fish and seafood. Consequently the organiser felt it would be appropriate to opt for a dinner featuring these. Our menu tonight has a selection of dishes that will give you an idea of the style of Keralian cuisine and comprises the organiser’s favourite dishes from the main menu - Cochin Prawn Curry and Fish Nilgiri - with others from their party menus
