Fine Wine Auction and Tasting
16th November 7:00pm Emmanuel College Old Library

The opportunity to taste some fine wines, bag a couple of bargains and raise money for charity is on offer at the Cambridge RAG’s Fine Wine Tasting and Auction.

Organised by Paul Bowes of Bacchanalia, the event will start with the chance to sample a wide variety of tasty tipples – followed by the auction itself, with all the wine donated by the Colleges.

The auction is attended by local wine dealers, usually a tell-tale sign as to the quality of wines available.

All the money raised at the auction will go to RAG’s 25 chosen charities for this year. To reserve your ticket email rag@cusu.cam.ac.uk with your name and contact details.

Payment can be made on the door or by cheque payable to Cambridge Student’s RAG, and sent to: Cambridge Student RAG Appeal, Old Exam Hall, Free School Lane, Cambridge, CB2 3RF.
