SUMMARY:GWS 40th announcement
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE JOIN US AS THE GERMAN WINE SOCIETY CELEBRATES OUR 40TH ANNIVERSARY IN WASHINGTON\, D.C. ON JUNE 9-10\, 2017! Can you believe it’s been 40 years already?    In 1977\, the German Wine Society began when 83 graduates of the German Wine Academy were inducted in a ceremony at the German Embassy in Washington\, D.C.   Ever since then\, we have been carrying out our missions of improving knowledge of German wines and enjoying them with those of similar interests. Much has changed in the world of German wines over the past 40 years.    Germany reunified\, and two eastern regions were added to the eleven wine-growing regions in western Germany.   Production of red wines has expanded from only a tenth to a full third of all German wines.   There are many more good dry white wines to enjoy along with the traditional sweet\, high-prädikat ones.   And Germany now has two wine classification systems\, the newer terroir-based VDP one being used alongside the familiar one in the German Wine Law\, with its prädikat levels.   But through all these changes\, the members of the German Wine Society have continued to enjoy Germany’s wonderful wines.    Now it is time to bring our chapters together again\, for the first time since our 30th Anniversary celebration in 2007. Our 40th Anniversary events will take place over two days\, June 9 and 10\, at three locations in Washington\, D.C.    Many of you responded to our “save the date” version of this notice earlier in May\, from our Washington\, D.C.\, Philadelphia\, and San Francisco chapters and even Canada.   Below are all the details you will need about the wines\, food\, registration\, payment and getting to the events.    We are not booking a block of hotel rooms for the anniversary\, so that you are free to choose where you would like to stay if coming from out of town (or even locally\, if you prefer to stay near to the events and avoid driving afterward).   We suggest\, if you need a hotel\, that you select one convenient to our events in the Dupont Circle\, Embassy Row or downtown Washington\, D.C. area.   These websites may be useful in finding a hotel:    https://washington.org/find-dc-listings/all-places-to-stay https://www.expedia.com/Washington-Hotels.d178318.Travel-Guide-Hotels Registration for all events must be received by Sunday\, June 4\, 2017.    You can register and pay for events in either of two ways.    First\, you can register on our Washington\, D.C. chapter website\,\, www.germanwinesocietydc.org\,  and make payment by Paypal.   You will need to create a GWS account for the website if you do not already have one as a member of our chapter\, and you will also need to have a Paypal account.  Registration and payment will need to be entered separately for each of the two paid events on June 10\, if you plan to come to both\, although you can complete the payment on Paypal as a single transaction.   For couples or others being paid for together\, there is a place on our online registration form to provide the names of additional guests.  You will also need to register for the June 9 members-only event even though no payment is required\, as we will need a complete list of attendees in advance for Embassy security.    Second\, if you prefer to register by mail and pay by check for the events\, please clip off the registration form attached to this notice\, indicate which events you plan to attend and the names of all who will be attending\, and mail a check made out to the German Wine Society in the proper amount for all events along with the form to:   Joseph Aguiar Secretary\, GWS Capital Chapter 2501 Calvert Street N.W.\, Apt. 501 Washington\, D.C. 20008     Whether you are registering by mail or online\, please be sure to provide the names of all persons for whom you are registering\, and pay the appropriate price depending on whether each person is a member of one of the active chapters in the U.S. (with annual dues paid)\, or a non-member (including Canadian GWS).   Also\, please only register for the free Embassy event if you are a member of one of the U.S. GWS chapters\, or a Canadian GWS member.  There is still time to become a member – just contact the Secretary or other officers of the local chapter most convenient for you.     Here’s what we have planned for our Anniversary: June 9\, 7 pm:   Reception at the German Embassy\, Karl Schurz Hall                     4645 Reservoir Road\, NW\, Washington\, DC 20007.     You can celebrate the 40th Anniversary of our society where it began!  As we have done for other anniversary events and national conventions\, we will offer a tour of the wine regions of Germany\, with a representative wine from all 13 regions (even the ones that don’t normally export here) along with a selection of catered hors d’oeuvres and other food.   For this anniversary\, the Embassy reception will be FREE for members\, and limited to members of U.S. GWS chapters (Washington\, D.C\, Philadelphia\, San Francisco)\, and Canadian GWS members.  For security purposes\, the Embassy requires a list of all attendees in advance; no walk-ins are allowed.  Those attending this event should enter the Embassy grounds through the main gate on Reservoir Road\, and proceed across the courtyard to the main Embassy building pictured above.   Please remember to bring a valid picture ID.    There is no parking available on Embassy grounds\, but it should not be difficult at this time of day to find parking on the street nearby if you are driving.    Wines at the Embassy Reception: nv Dr. Loosen Sparkling Riesling “Dr. L”\, Mosel (welcoming wine) 2012 Künstler Hochheimer Kirchenstück Riesling Kabinett Trocken\, Rheingau 2015 Ratzenberger-Bacharacher Riesling Kabinett Feinherb\, Mittelrhein 2015 J.u.H.A.

SUMMARY:Luxembourg Embassy Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Registration for this event is closed.\n\nTHE GERMAN WINE SOCIETY RETURNS TO THE EMBASSY OF LUXEMBOURG!\n\nDear German Wine Society Members and Friends of German Wine\,\n\nWe will once again be at the beautiful Embassy of Luxembourg in Washington\, D.C. for our next tasting on Friday\, April 8\, 2016 at 7 pm.  Many of you will remember our very successful events at the Embassy of Luxembourg in 2011 and 2013\, and this provides us with another exciting opportunity to try the varied wines of the “other Mosel\,” the Moselle River in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.   Our host for this evening\, as at our 2013 event\, will be Ambassador Jean-Louis Wolzfeld\, who is nearing the end of his tour of duty in the United States this summer\, so this event also provides us with the opportunity to thank him a final time for his gracious hospitality to our Society.\n\nWines for this event will include:\n\nBernard Massard Cuvee de l’Ecusson Brut Blanc\nBernard Massard Cuvee de l’Ecusson Brut Rose\n2013 Bernard Massard Grand Premier Cru Riesling\n2012 Bernard Massard Vin de Qualite Rivaner\n2014 Bernard Massard Grand Premier Cru Auxerrois\n2014 Bernard Massard Grand Premier Cru Pinot Gris\n2014 Clos des Rochers Grand Premier Cru Pinot Blanc\n\nIn addition\, the Embassy is likely to\, as at our last event\, supply some wines from its own cellar for the event\, produced from the State Domain — ones that are not available for public sale but used only for events hosted by theLuxembourg government and its embassies.   And throughout the evening\, the Embassy will be serving light refreshments to accompany the wines.\n\nAnd as a final treat\, we will have some older vintages and Luxembourg specialty wines\, such as Vendange Tardive (late harvest)\, Vin de glace (ice wine)\, and Vin Moelleux (mellow or medium-sweet wine)\, as at our 2013 event.  Luxembourg’s specialty wines are produced in very small quantities and these wines are not normally available for sale in the United States\, but you can enjoy them now on the territory of the Grand Duchy through the German Wine Society without having to make a trip to Luxembourg!   Though guests will not be able to sample all of these wines in light of the limited quantities remaining from our cellar\, you should be able to try two or three of them.   These wines will include:\n\n\n2008 Bernard Massard Clos des Rochers Grand Premier Cru Pinot Gris\n2009 Bernard Massard Clos des Rochers Grand Premier Cru Auxerrois\n2011 Schram & Fils Bech-Kleinmacher Naumberg Riesling Vin Moelleux\n2010 Guy Krier-Welbes Ellange-Gare Auxerrois Vendange Tardive\n2009 Guy Krier-Welbes Ellange-Gare Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive\n2007 Caves St. Remy Remich Grand Premier Cru Riesling Vendange Tardive\n2007 Caves St. Remy Remich Grand Premier Cru Riesling Vin de Glace\n\nThe price for this event is a very reasonable $45 for members\, and $52 for non-member guests.  You can register and pay for this event via Paypal by heading to our Register page on the top menu.   You will need to set up a GWS account if you have not done so already for past events\, and have a Paypal account.  The deadline to register for this event is March 31\, 2016\, as we must provide a list of guests to the Embassy for security reasons a week in advance of the event. Registration will also close if the event reaches 60 attendees as this is the capacity for the embassy. If you are interested please register as soon as possible.\n\nThe Embassy of Luxembourg is located at 2200 Massachusetts Avenue\, N.W.\, Washington\, D.C.\, within easy walking distance of the Dupont Circle Red Line Metro station.  Street parking in the area is limited\, so planning to arrive by Metro is likely to be easiest.\n\nAll GWS 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.  Members and guests should use public transportation\, rely on a designated driver\, or mostly taste the wines rather than finish them when such drivers or alternative modes of transportation are not available.\n\nThe coordinator for this event is GWS Capital Chapter President Carl Willner.\n\n

SUMMARY:Tasting with Weingut Richard Bocking
DESCRIPTION:The German Wine Society would like to invite you to a very special evening with Denman Zirkle and his daughter Sigrid Zirkle Carroll\, owners of Weingut Richard Böcking in the Mosel Valley\, Germany. The tasting will take place on Friday\, November 20\, 2015\, at 7:30 p.m. The price for the tasting is $35 for members and $42 for guests.   The deadline to register is Monday\, November 16. We do not often have the chance to welcome a Mosel producer in person at our tastings\, and to have one with such strong connections to the United States as well as Germany is unprecedented.  Weingut Richard Böcking is a Mosel estate with a long history\, established in 1623.  The Böcking family was once one of the wealthiest in the Mosel\, and even Goethe visited the family villa in 1792 and praised the Mosel wines.  The Böcking estate acquired precious vineyards such as the Ungsberg and Schlossberg after Napoleon ended the feudal system in the region\, with the family seat of Traben-Trarbach becoming a wine trade center of world renown. Though the family fortunes declined in the 20th century and the estate was virtually unknown a few years ago\, it is now being revived by the Böcking family.   The estate has 15 acres under cultivation\, with 95% Riesling plantings\, and four of its five vineyards are classified as Grand Cru\, including the Ungsberg\, Schlossberg and Burgberg\, all represented at this tasting. Interestingly\, two of the three protagonists in the revival process – Denman Zirkle and Sigrid Carroll – are based in Virginia.  Denman Zirkle\, Managing Partner of the estate\, is an American\, who married into the Richard Böcking family while he was on an external assignment for IBM in Frankfurt.   Sigrid Carroll\, Director of North American Marketing for the winery\, is a direct Böcking descendant through her mother\, who was a granddaughter of Kurt Böcking.  She was educated in the United States but has frequently traveled to Germany and worked summers in the family vineyards in Traben-Trarbach while in her teens.  You will hear more about this exciting undertaking during the tasting. Denman Zirkle and Sigrid Carroll will pour a selection of the Weingut Richard Böcking wines\, which are all available in the US (some in Washington\, D.C. and Virginia\, while others are available in Montana and the New York/New Jersey area). 2014 RichHeart Riesling 2014 RichHeart Pinot Blanc (Weissburgunder) 2013 Devon Riesling 2014 Devon Riesling 2012 “M” Trarbacher Burgberg Kabinett Riesling 2013 “M” Trarbacher Burgberg Spätlese  Riesling 2012 Trarbacher Ungsberg Alte Reben Riesling 2012 Trarbacher Burgberg Alte Reben Riesling 2014 Trarbacher Ungsberg Alte Reben  Riesling 2014 Trarbacher Schlossberg Alte Reben  Riesling Most of the Weingut Richard Böcking wines are in the dry to off-dry (feinherb) range\, with the exception of the “M” wines.  We will have a variety of light food (cheeses\, crackers\, pretzel sandwiches from Heidelberg Bakery) to accompany the tasting. The tasting will be held at the Harbour Square Club Room. The address for our tasting is 500 N St SW\, Washington\, DC. 20024. It is very easy to get to and park there. Marilyn Scarbrough has thoughtfully reserved a few spaces in her complex’s visitors parking\, but we cannot guarantee that these will be available. Metro is very accessible\, the Green Line\, Waterfront. 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 when such drivers or alternative means of transportation are not available.   Event coordinators:  Carl Willner and Christian Schiller.   We can be reached with any questions through the GWS Capital Chapter website\, germanwinesocietydc.org . We now have two options to reserve and pay for attendance at our events!   Members and guests can still send in a check\, as in the past\, to the German Wine Society.   But we are now in the electronic age too\, and you can alternatively register for events on our website and make payment by Paypal.  You will need to set up a GWS account on our website to register\, and also have a Paypal account ready to use for payment. If you prefer to pay via check please make it payable to: German Wine Society Please send your check to: German Wine Society c/o Michael Fritze 1602 Greenbriar Court Reston\, VA  20190 \n\n\n    \n     Register for this Event
