RTPI Wine Tasting Evening sponsored by Cobalt

15/10/2008

Cobalt sponsored the RTPI Wine tasting evening at Vivat Bacchus on October 8th, 2008. The night was a resounding success and an enjoyable time was had by all. Located at London Bridge, and a new arrival on the wine tasting circuit, Vivat Bacchus proved an ideal location to host this networking event.

The evening was attended by 70 Chartered Town Planners including the new president, Janet O’Neil. Janet gave an informative speech regarding the difficulties within planning, particularly given the current economic climate and gave and motivated attendees about the rewards of a career in Town Planning.

The tasting was next on the agenda and some delicious South African wines were consumed and discussed at length, with our South African host offering his own expert opinions. This was accompanied by some superb cold meats and cheeses which all aided the palette.

The evening drew to a close with a raffle prize draw with some excellent prizes won including an i-pod shuffle, a Wine Tasting Book and a meal for 2 at Vivat Bacchus.

Subsequent correspondence with attendees has been very positive, many of whom are keen for us to organise a similar event soon and were highly complimentary about the event!
