Oktoberfest “Reverse” Tasting
September 21, 2013 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Please join us Saturday, September 21, at 7 p.m. for our tasting at the Harbour Square Club Room, which provides us a stunning view of the Washington skyline. The price for this tasting is $25 for members, $32 for guests.
In years past, we (virtually) visited the Rheingau, Rheinhessen, Pfalz, and Mosel to celebrate and learn more about these regions’ fine wines. This year we visit some of our lesser well known regions. It is an opportunity to experience wines from our cellar and local retailers along with snacks representing these regions. As with years past, your pourers (board members) have undertaken considerable research to ensure your experience is both delicious and delectable.
Here are a couple of articles to tickle your tongues (best to read them in the order listed):
