SUMMARY:POTOMAC WINE CRUISE
DESCRIPTION:ANNOUNCING THE RETURN OF THE GERMAN WINE SOCIETY’S POTOMAC WINE CRUISE!Get ready to cast off on the Potomac for a German wine cruise! Yes\, the Capital Chapter of the German Wine Society is once again holding our Potomac wine cruise this summer\, back by popular demand after last year’s very successful voyage. As we did in July 2021 and 2022\, and also regularly for several years in 2010-2013 and earlier\, we will enjoy the traditional GWS summer wine cruise past the beautiful river banks and monuments of our nation’s Capital. Please join us to enjoy many wines from Germany and other countries as we cruise along the Potomac for two hours\, from 4 pm to 6 pm on Saturday\, July 8\, 2023. We will board Capitol River Cruises’ Nightingale from the Georgetown waterfront\, at 3050 K Street N.W.\, Washington\, D.C. – the end of 31st Street\, by the Fiola Mare restaurant. Be sure to be on the wharf before departure time – the cruise boat cannot wait for late arrivals! We can accommodate only 60 guests on the Nightingale for this event\, so reserve early to avoid disappointment. Reservations for this event are due by Monday\, July 3\, 2022\, to give us sufficient time to have enough wine and supplies for all aboard.Parking is readily available in garages along the Georgetown riverfront\, and it is possible to walk from Metro at the Foggy Bottom station as well (if you are a good walker). We will be providing all the wines for this event\, as well as disposable plastic glasses and cutlery\, paper plates and napkins\, and will also bring some deli sandwiches or other snacks. Guests are also encouraged to bring their own favorite cheeses\, breads or other food on board. This will be a relaxing cruise\, with no presentation\, allowing everyone to concentrate on the wines\, good company and atmosphere. There are many outdoor and indoor dining establishments along the Georgetown waterfront for dinner after the cruise\, which we encourage you to try.The Nightingale is a boat we have used for some previous cruises\, and is all on one level\, with tables and chairs\, and a bar area from which we can serve wines. It also has protection against inclement weather\, though we have been fortunate with our past wine cruises and reasonably hope for a sunny afternoon once again. The cruise will take place rain or shine\, unless weather conditions do not allow the cruise to set out safely\, in which case we will reschedule or provide refunds.THE WINES: The wines for our cruise will be a mixture of whites and reds\, mostly German but with some other international wines included as well. There will be a good variety of both dry and sweet wines\, including many Kabinett and Spätlese prädikat wines! Because this is not a formal presentation\, and we will only have one or two bottles on hand of each of the wines listed\, everyone will not get the same wines\, but all on the voyage should have the chance to savor around 10-12 different wines. We look forward to sharing the lovely qualities of these German and international wines with our members and guests again.

We still encourage participants to be up to date in their vaccinations\, and will be considering based on experience with this event whether to lift covid vaccination requirements entirely for indoor events in the fall. Masks will not be necessary. All GWS members and guests are reminded that alcohol consumption can lead to intoxication. Members and guests should use public transportation to events or rely on a designated driver\, and if those are not available\, taste the wines in moderation rather than finishing them.We are eagerly anticipating seeing all of you in person again for this comfortable afternoon on the Potomac!RESERVATION FORM for Saturday\, July 8\, 2023\, German Wine Society Potomac Wine CruiseMember(s) Name(s) ___________________________________________________Guest(s) Names(s) _____________________________________________________Total Enclosed ________________________ Daytime/ Cell Phone Number _________________________E-Mail _______________________________________________________________\n\nRegister for this Event
