SUMMARY:Oktober Weinfest
DESCRIPTION:Dear German Wine Society Members and Friends of German Wine\,JOIN US FOR OKTOBER WEINFEST AT THE GERMAN EMBASSY!   In Germany Oktoberfest is celebrated beginning in September\, and so we are returning to the German Embassy House for our Oktober Weinfest on Friday\, September 29\, 2017 at 7:00 pm. The Embassy House doors will open at 6:30 pm for registration of guests\, and to allow you to enjoy some welcoming sekt and hors d’oeuvres before the main tasting begins.  The theme of our Oktober Weinfest this year is a tour of three major German wine regions lying west of the Rhine\, the Mosel\, Rheinhessen and Pfalz\, and we will have fifteen wines\, including primarily Rieslings\, but also two Gewürztraminers and a Dornfelder.  There will be four wines from each region in the main part of the tasting\, including 2 trocken\, 2 QW\, 4 Kabinett\, and 4 Spätlese wines\, followed by a Riesling Auslese and a Riesling Beerenauslese wine with dessert.   Wines will be poured for you by our own experienced members\, who have been to a number of these regions.  This tasting provides the opportunity for us to explore the diversity of wines and producers in these three regions at once\, including several older vintages not readily available on the market.  Together with these wines\, we will have an ample buffet of delicious foods\, many in German style\, prepared by the Embassy’s outstanding new chef Daniel Labonne and his staff.  Those of you who attended the 40th Anniversary reception at the Embassy in June have already experienced Chef Labonne’s culinary skills and we now have the chance to savor his dishes again!   The price for this very special event will be $83 for members\, and $90 for non-members – lower than last year’s Weinfest!   The Board encourages all members and friends of the Society to reserve as early as possible\, as this event is expected to be very popular.   We will be limiting attendance to 50 guests\, to ensure that everyone can best enjoy the event.   Reservations must be received by Monday\, September 25\, 2015\, for Embassy security – no late reservations or signups at the event can be accepted.  Weather permitting\, the Embassy House terrace will be open for you to relax with your welcoming sekt and savor the wines.   We anticipate Embassy personnel to be present for our event as well.

All Society members and guests are reminded that alcohol consumption can lead to intoxication\, and therefore Society members and their guests are expected to drink in moderation at Society events.  It is advisable to provide designated drivers or other modes of transit where available\, or mostly to taste rather than consume alcohol where such drivers or alternative means of transportation are not available.    Event coordinator:  Carl Willner\, 301-216-2531\, carl.willner1@verizon.net You can register and pay for this event in one of two ways.  Members and guests can still send in a check to the German Wine Society\, using the reservation form below.   But you can alternatively register for events on our website using the button below and make payment by Paypal.  You will need to set up a GWS account on our website to register\, if you have not already done so for past events\, and also have a Paypal account ready to use for payment. And\, now that the fun is out of the way\, just a reminder that most of you have received notices about renewing your annual membership dues to the GWS for the year July 1\, 2017 to June 30\, 2018 (except for those who have recently joined this year).  Dues ($35 a year for either a single or a couple membership) can be paid by check to the German Wine Society\, and addressed to Joseph Aguair\, Secretary\, German Wine Society\, 2501 Calvert Street N.W.\, Apartment 501\, Washington\, DC 20008.  Alternatively\, dues can now also be paid online through our website using Paypal\, in the same manner as when registering for an event.  For those of you who have already taken care of this\, a hearty thank you!  For those of you who haven’t\, a hearty thank you awaits.  A membership payment at the same time as your reservation will qualify you for the member price for this event\, if you’re not already a paid-up member (and if there are two of you coming as a couple\, that will save you nearly half the cost of annual membership on this one event!). \n\nRegister for this Event

Last minute walk-ins will not be permitted.  Everyone must have a picture ID to be admitted. We’ll celebrate this annual event with a menu of white and green asparagus with a homemade hollandaise sauce Frau Thuleweit will create for us (yum!)\, Chicken Saute with lyonaise potatoes\, Nuremburger Sausages\, and a meat platter of Black Forest ham\, prosciutto and Westphalia ham.  This delicious and traditional dinner ends with apple strudel with whipped cream\, Rote Gruetze\, and coffee.

The wine list is being finalized and will be released in the coming days.  You can anticipate a Sekt reception\, followed by three flights of wine: two Gruener Veltliner followed by two Kabinett\, with two Auslese to accompany the dessert.
