The ASM Wine Tasting

The Annual Scietific Meeting (ASM) for the Anaesthetists' College and Society was held last weekend. Started in 1996, I had basically attended every one at least in part except for the second one (1997). I cannot remember when they added a wine tasting at the end of the proceedings for an additional social item, but it has now been an acknowledged feature of the meeting.

It has always been enjoyable and I had organized the one in 2007 as well as helped in the sake tasting in another year. Last year the merchant who provided the wines decided to give a lengthy lecture on biodynamic wines and that did not go down well at all. This year's presentation on Burgundy wines was well received though it was still on the long side. The wines were nice enough to make a good impression.
