On Sunday evening, June 20, we will cruise the Potomac. We will cast off all lines and get underway from Georgetown Harbor, just at the bottom of 31st Street NW at 7:15 pm., aboard the Nightingale.
This will be a relaxing, post-dinner cruise so we can concentrate on the wines and the atmosphere. There are many dining establishments in the Georgetown area, several right in the Georgetown Harbor area, and we encourage all who want to take the cruise to dine there beforehand. We must depart EXACTLY at 7:15 pm for the two-hour cruise down the Potomac and back again to Georgetown Harbor. We will have a few cheeses and fruits to complement our excellent cellar wines.
We encourage all who came to the German Embassy House for the Spargelfest and our other recent tastings to continue to show their enthusiasm by participating in this ever popular event. The cost for the Potomac cruise will be $34 for members and $41 for non-members. The deadline for making a reservation is 16 June, to give us sufficient time to get supplies.
We are glad that we found a reasonably priced boat company for an event that our members have always enjoyed. The boat, the Nightingale, is the same boat we used the last three years and it is larger than the one we used in previous years. It is all on one level, and we have tables and chairs and a bar from which to serve the wine. It also has protection against inclement weather, which of course will not occur.
So, please join us for this comfortable evening on the river.
