Does anyone know where you can go for wine tasting evenings in Bristol, now that Harveys have closed down?

I really fancy going to one.

I saw there was a wine tasting course at The Folkhouse this term

Really? I might check that out - although I'm not sure if it's such a good idea for me to sign up, as I will be staggering home pissed every week, probably! :D

Is that Harveys in Denmark Street you are talking about? I used to enjoy going there for a meal and a drink when I could afford it.

If you are in to the odd tipple, what about enquiring about a club that might have the right age group?

Local colleges often do them - they do in London anyway..

Never eaten in there, but got very drunk on a wine tasting evening sometime in the 1980s!

Hmmm...I'm not really sure that I want to hang about with the type of other people who might be into wine tasting! :D

The people on my classes were a mixture of wine anoraks, couples looking to 'do something together' and ageing pissheads. Not much wine snobbery tbh - otherwise they wouldn't have been seen dead on the course.
