Wedding wines for Harry's charity

Local councillor and WSET wine tutor, Linda Vijeh, doesn't like to waste time when it comes to seizing the opportunity to taste wines AND help others.

'With all of the excitement of the Royal Wedding it seemed like the perfect way to celebrate. I had a number of sauvignon blanc wines, from six different countries, that I was keen for us all to taste and compare them.

When I heard that Morrison's had devised a special wedding cake recipe to reflect the happy couple's choice of cake, with a combination of lemon and elderflower it seemed like a good idea. Getting the cakes was another matter though, which nearly ended in disaster, but thankfully duty managers Gary and Mark stepped in and even refunded our money. The event was kindly by Brenda Lake, Chairman of the Ilminster literary Festival, and we all had a great time, enjoying the fine weather, and raised £120 for Prince Harry's charity Heads Together. A super day all round.'
