Due to my deep understanding of physical chemistry it
was somehow inevitable that I would become the "IT guru" for
the club. Or perhaps it's something to do with the fact that I now work
with computers all day... Either way, all the blame or the glory is mine!

Back in the mists of time (i.e. 1995) I arrived at Bath as a young hopeful postgraduate, looking forward to 3 years of exciting chemistry research. Whilst wandering around the various clubs and societies stalls at those introductory affairs that new students go to, I was taken with the idea of the student wine society, it seemed to have an air of sophistication and, because I had only tasted Mateus Rose and Blue Nun up to that point, I was curious about the secret world of fine wines. A year or so later and I was Chair of the society, and though it was hard work sometimes, I enjoyed the range and quality of the tastings we arranged in that year (mostly thanks to the guidance of Nick Stevens, then a wine soc veteran). Though I did finally finish my Ph.D, I have not yet managed to escape the clutches of beautiful Bath, and now work in the Computing Services at the University. I still attend the student tastings at Bath fairly regularly and go to many of the Vintage Club outings. My favourite styles of wine are mature, medium-weight reds; Gran-Reserva Rioja's and fine Clarets being the most readily available examples, and my preferred style of Champagne is best represented by Krug, in case you're thinking of buying me a pressie...(though of course I will drink anything, as demonstrated by someone who brought a bottle of Concorde to a recent tasting...)
