SUMMARY:SPECIAL SPARGELFEST DINNER AT THE GERMAN EMBASSY HOUSE
DESCRIPTION:The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Wine Society are pleased to co-sponsor the traditional annual GWS Spargelfest dinner at the German Embassy House on the evening of Friday\, May 25\, 2018.  “Spargelfest” is a feast of asparagus-themed dishes\, including white asparagus\, paired with wines.   We will begin this memorable evening with a welcoming Sekt paired with hors d’oeuvres\, served outside on the Embassy House terrace if weather permits.   The dinner will be served in the Embassy House itself\, with three plated courses followed by a dessert buffet.    The Embassy will begin admitting guests at 6:30 pm through the main Embassy entrance at 4645 Reservoir Road NW\, Washington\, DC\,  with dinner beginning at 7:15 pm.   You will need to ascend the stairs from the Embassy courtyard to the House\, or be escorted through the main Embassy building to use the elevator to reach the House\, which is located on the upper side of the Embassy grounds on Foxhall Road.   Only guests with special needs can be admitted through the Embassy House doors on the street side\, 1900 Foxhall Road NW\, and only if they notify GWS in advance so that we can inform Embassy security.   Street parking is available along Reservoir Road within walking distance of the Embassy entrance.   Guests can also arrive by taxi or the nearest bus lines (D6). Dishes for this dinner will be prepared by the Embassy’s talented Chef Daniel Labonne\, who was also responsible for food served at our 40th Anniversary reception at the Embassy in June 2017\, and our Oktober Weinfest at the Embassy House in September 2017.    Chef Labonne\, who hails from Martinique in the French Caribbean\, was trained as a chef in Toulouse\, France.  He has been a chef in Washington\, DC for the past 18 years\, most recently at the French Embassy.
