It is with enormous pleasure that we welcome back Alun Griffiths to present our November tasting. Alun is a great friend of our Society and needs no introduction to many of our members. We know that his evenings with us are always informative, interesting and fun. For the benefit of our newer members who may not know Alun, he has been a Master of Wine since 1991. For many years, he was Wine Director at Berry Bros & Rudd and more recently he was based in Hong Kong.

Alun is now once again UK based and is non-Executive Chairman of Thorman Hunt, a family-run specialist wine shipper sourcing premium artisanal wine for the finest restaurants, hotels and trade professionals in London and the UK.. This role gives him access to their extensive portfolio of wines and tonight he has chosen to present wines from the Loire Valley, building upon a recent visit to the region.

Alun also lectures on wine and has been a panel judge at the International Wine Challenge and the Decanter Wine Awards Competition. He’s also a regular member of the Decanter Magazine tasting panel.
