HUGHES SuperValu Claregalway will hold their fourth annual charity wine tasting event on Thursday December 7 at 7pm.
Once again Jackie and Peadar Dolan of Treat Cafe Claregalway are kindly hosting it in their cafe where patrons will taste 12 wines and some cheese, bread and tapas.
This year our charity choice is one very close to us in every sense of the word, the Claregalway and District Day Care Centre who contribute so much to our local community.
The purpose of the CDDCC is to provide a place where the elderly can visit, enjoy social interaction and take part in various activities and educational programmes to enable them to continue living independently. They also provide a day respite service for carers of people suffering long term illnesses.
We are delighted that Jean Smullen is coming to Claregalway village again to share her knowledge of wines with us – this will be Jean’s third year with us.
