We are anticipating vacancies on the board this coming year\, including the possibility that our current president plans to step aside\, into the emeritus position.  This election is critical to the future of the society and your vote counts!!  We should take advantage of this opportunity to introduce fresh thinking into guiding the evolution of the society and planning future events.  Please consider giving back to the Chapter by serving on the board or by volunteering to plan a monthly tasting.  It is very important that you come and vote at this meeting — it is your chapter and you can help shape its activities by voting.  The wines we will be tasting are a spectacular vertical tasting through which we will impart an appreciation of how our favorite wines will age. 2001 Donnhoff Norheimer Kirschheck Spatlese\, Nahe2011 Donnhoff Norheimer Kirschheck Spatlese\, Nahe2003 Donnhoff Oberhauser Brucke Spatlese\, Nahe2011 Donnhoff Oberhauser Brucke Spatlese\, Nahe1998 Kruger Rumpf Munsterer Dautenpflanzer Spatlese\, Nahe2011 Kruger Rumpf Munsterer Dautenpflanzer Spatlese\, Nahe1999 JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese\, MSR2011 JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese\, MSR

SUMMARY:Summer Solstice Potomac River Cruise
DESCRIPTION:We will be casting off all lines and getting underway from Georgetown Harbor\, just at the bottom of 31st Street NW at 7:15 PM June 24\, aboard the Nightingale.  We will have a few cheeses and fruits to complement our excellent cellar wines. 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.  The boat\, the Nightingale\, is the same boat we used the last several years and it is the perfect size for our group. 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 pleasant summer evening on the river.

SUMMARY:Rieslings 'round the World
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendar now for our “Rieslings ’round the World” Riesling Blind Tasting\, led by our own Carl Brandhorst.  The evening’s tasting takes place in the Harbour Square Club Room. The address for our tasting is 500 N St SW\, Washington\, DC. 20024-4605. Parking is available on the street and in the complex on a first-come-first-served basis. The date is Friday\, November 4th\, starting at 7:30 PM.  The price will be $35 for members and $42 for non-members. At this tasting\, the German Wine Society will present a blind tasting of Rieslings from several countries around the world.  There will be ten wines in two flights\, five wines to a flight.  There will be one German wine to satisfy those thinking that only German Rieslings are worth drinking.  In each flight\, five wines will be poured for comparative tasting.   During the break between the flights\, light hors d’oeuvres will be served. Only crackers and water will be available during the flights.. The session will be limited to 36 participants because the available wine is limited. After each flight participants will receive a list of the wines tasted. During the flights\, sheets containing the modified Davis Scale\, normally used in national wine judging events\, will be provided so that participants can record their impressions based upon color\, aroma\, taste\, finish and hedonistic impression. The purpose of this educational tasting is to show that excellent Rieslings are produced in countries other than Germany\, and for each participant to determine which of the wines he or she prefers.  In selecting the Rieslings for this presentation\, the presenter tasted many Rieslings generally available in the Washington metropolitan area to see which ones met his criteria.  The criteria will be stated at the beginning of the presentation. The deadline is Friday\, October 31st.  Please send your reservation ASAP\, so we can finalize planning. We are united in our love for German wines.  But the Riesling grape grows in many places and makes excellent wine outside of Germany. This is not an exercise to pick out the German wine\, but to show the variation that the Riesling grape exhibits and to see if you like some of these different styles.

SUMMARY:Portfolio Tasting with Domaine Select and Daniel Hubbard
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Saturday\, April 9\, at 7 p.m.\, for our upcoming tasting with Daniel C. Hubbard of Domaine Select Wine Estates (DSWE). He has planned a power-point presentation to share with us his extensive knowledge of German wine.  As DSWE’s Central European portfolio manager and Mid-Atlantic sales manager\, Daniel is well established with the German wine scene\, as our board member Christian Schiller can attest.  They met at the 1st International Riesling Symposium last year at Schloss Reinhartshausen in the Rheingau. The tasting will be at the Harbour Square Club Room.  As you will recall\, this venue provides us a stunning view of the Washington skyline. The price for this tasting is $35 for members and $42 for non-members.In 2010\, DSWE was named Food & Wine magazine’s Importer of the Year.  The German wine portfolio of DSWE is exquisite and diverse\, containing\, at one end\, the Pfalz wines of Weingut Christmann\, whose owner\, Steffen Christmann\, is the current VDP President\, the organization of Germany’s elite winemakers\, and at the other end\, the wines of Dirk Wuertz\, a young and upcoming German winemaker who sells his Rieslings as bag-in box wines at Whole Foods and New York’s trendy wine bar “The Ten Bells.”  It’s one heck of a selection! The wines have been selected.  They are four flights of three wines each\, each flight representing a particular vintner.  The wines are: 2009 Christmann\, Riesling\, Deidesheimer Paradiesgarten\, Pfalz2009 Christmann\, Riesling IDIG GG\, Pfalz2009 Kuhling-Gillot\, Riesling Nierstein\, Rheinhessen Rheinhessen2009 Peter-Jakob Kühn\, Riesling Quarzit\, Rheingau2009 Peter-Jakob Kühn\, Riesling Doosberg\, 1.

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.
