SUMMARY:GWS SPARGELFEST RETURNS!
DESCRIPTION:Dear German Wine Society Members and Guests\,Spring in Washington announces itself with cherry blossoms\, migrating songbirds\, and tasty ramps at farmers’ markets. In Germany\, nothing epitomizes Spring like the revered white stalks of Spargel (aparagus)! The green variety is more popular in North America\, and tends to be available in supermarkets year-round. Germans\, however\, prefer the white variety that is harvested from mid-April to near the end of June (St. John’s Day)\, and often is harder to find in the United States. They’ve given this harvest season its own name — Spargelzeit — and celebrate it with passion.Rich in nutrients and very low in calories\, asparagus has become a culinary status symbol for many Germans. To produce white asparagus\, soil is piled up into knee-high banks\, which give the fields their characteristic appearance. White asparagus grows entirely surrounded by earth\, which protects the slender stalks from sunlight exposure and keeps them from turning green. This also affects the subtle flavor of it. The popular vegetable is cultivated in almost all federal states as well as in neighboring countries. In fact\, Germans consume more white asparagus than their country produces\, so it is necessary to import it.Join the German Wine Society’s Capital Chapter on May 19 for a three-course Spargelfest dinner at Cafe Berlin on Capitol Hill featuring not only the elegant vegetable in both its green and white versions\, but also fine German wines\, including Silvaner\, known for its affinity with asparagus. We have two such Silvaner wines\, from Franken\, bottled in the traditional\, picturesque squat bocksbeutel\, in addition to a sparkling wine\, two other dry whites and two sweet whites. This is the first time in four years that we have been able to celebrate a Spargelfest together\, with past locations having included the German Embassy House\, Cafe Mozart (now regrettably closed)\, and Cafe Berlin itself. We look forward to our return to this elegant locale recalling the atmosphere of 1920s Berlin.DATE: Friday\, May 19th\, 2023. Doors open at 6:30 pm; tasting begins at 7:00 pm. Registrations are due by Monday\, May 15\, 2023. This is expected to be a very popular event\, and seating is limited to the first 40 who reserve\, so reserve early to avoid disappointment. In order to give a wider chance to attend to our members\, we are limiting reservations to groups of no more than four. If you have other friends who want to come\, please encourage them to reserve separately.VENUE: Cafe Berlin\, 322 Massachusetts Ave. NE\, Washington\, DC . On-street parking nearby is very limited. The parking garage at Union Station can be entered from the bridge on H St. NE east of North Capitol Street. The Metrorail Red Line serves Union Station\, as do many Metrobus lines. The restaurant is a short walk down Massachusetts from the Station’s front entrance. Metrobus lines 96\, D6\, and X8 stop on Massachusetts near the restaurant.

SUMMARY:Austro-Hungarian Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Coat of Arms of Austria-Hungary Travel back in time to the splendors of fin-de-siècle Vienna and Budapest!   Taste the wines and foods of the Austro-Hungarian Empire on Friday May 19th at 7:00 pm.  GWS member Jim Palanchar will be presenting 15 diverse wines from 10 of the 12 countries which today include territory formerly belonging to Austria-Hungary.  This adventurous tasting will take place at Old Europe Restaurant\, which will provide a buffet featuring classic highlights of Austro-Hungarian cuisine. It was famously said of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 19th century that “if it did not exist\, we would have to invent it.”   This vast empire\, the second largest in Europe after Russia before World War I\, abruptly vanished at the end of 1918.  One hundred years ago\, Austria-Hungary was in the last full year of its existence\, after centuries of rule by the Habsburg dynasty.  The old Emperor\, Franz Josef\, had passed on in 1916 after seven decades on the throne\, and the last Emperor\, Karl\, reigned in Vienna along with his Empress Zita.  Germany and Austria-Hungary were natural\, if sometimes uneasy\, allies during World War I.  More German speakers could be found in Austria-Hungary than in any nation apart from Germany itself\, and the two nations shared ties not only of language but of history\, music\, art\, cuisine and wines.  2017 is indeed a suitable year to recall this lost world through enjoying the wines from the many lands once ruled by the Habsburgs.    Austria and Hungary had a contentious history after the Hungarians settled the Middle Danube Basin in 896 A.D.  The Austrian Habsburgs inherited the Hungarian throne in 1526\, when the childless Hungarian king was killed in battle with the Ottoman Turks.  Since then\, periodically\, anti-Austrian revolutions broke out in Hungary\, the latest in 1848. But 150 years ago\, the Compromise of 1867 opened a half century period of peace and prosperity which ended with the dismemberment of the Empire when it lost the First World War.  During these decades the Empire was a crazy quilt of three kingdoms (Austria\, Hungary and Bohemia) and numerous duchies and provinces\, sprawling over much of Central Europe and into the Balkans.  It formerly encompassed all of what is now Austria\, Hungary\, the Czech Republic\, Slovakia\, Slovenia\, Croatia and Bosnia\, as well as lands now included in Romania (Transylvania and the Banat)\, Serbia (Voivodina)\, Italy (Alto Adige/South Tyrol)\, Poland (Galicia) and the Ukraine (Ruthenia). The diversity of terrains and cultures (there were 13 major ethnic groups\, as well as smaller ones) resulted in a correspondingly wide assortment of wines\, though many of them were made from grapes also familiar to German vintners.  We will be exploring both those familiar wines and the more exotic indigenous wines (some with tongue-twisting names)\, arranged in flights for comparison. The tasting will be held at Old Europe Restaurant\, whose address is: 2434 Wisconsin Ave. NW Washington\, DC  20007 Parking is available on the side street behind the restaurant A buffet dinner of Austro-Hungarian specialties will be provided\, as follows: Appetizer Old Europe’s bread basket with butter duo and “Schmalz” cold cut platter with deviled eggs and mixed pickles assorted cheese platters with house made Liptauer cheese spread Main Course “Rindsgulasch” – beef goulash breaded pork Schnitzel served with mushroom cream sauce on the side chicken paprikash Old Europe’s most loved sausages served with potato salad\, Spätzle\, cucumber salad\, sauerkraut\, red cabbage Dessert Sacher torte Apple strudel „Palatschinken” with lingonberry jam and apple sauce „Kaiserschmarren” with raisins   Here is the full wine list:   Austria 2014 Birgit Eichinger Gaisberg Reserve Erste\, Kamptal 2014 Markowitsch Rubin Carnuntum Zweigelt\,Burgenland 2012 Rosenhof Welschriesling TBA\,Burgenland   Bosnia 2015 Brkic Citlucka Zilavka\, Hercegovina   Croatia 2015 Toreta Posip Premium\, Dalmatia    Czech Republic 2014 Vino Z Czech Rivaner\,Moravia   Hungary 2015 Disznoko Furmint\, Tokaj Region 2012 Wetzer Kekfrankos\, Sopron Region  2009 Royal Tokaji 5 Puttonyos Aszu\, Tokaj Region    Italy 2015 Nals Margreid Gewuerztraminer\, Alto Adige  2013 Castell Sallegg Lagrein\, Alto Adige    Romania 2015 Recas La Putere Feteasca Neagra\, Banat   Serbia 2014 Agrina Portuguiser\, Fruska Gora   Slovakia 2015 Egon Mueller Chateau Bela Riesling\, Sturovo Region    Slovenia 2013 Ferdinand Epoca Rebula\, Brda District    Event cost is $66 for members and $74 for non-members.

SUMMARY:Rieslings of Austria\, France\, and Germany
DESCRIPTION:Registration for this event is closed.Calling all Riesling lovers! We are excited to welcome Warren Leonard from Weygandt Wines on Friday November 18th at 7:00pm\, to sample Rieslings from Austria\, Alsace\, and Germany. GWS member Dave Wendler and board member Joe Aguiar\, who have both organized events for us before (Dave often handles New Vintages\, and Joe recently presented World Rieslings)\, are planning this event. We will open the event with a brief educational discussion on the wine labelling and winemaking terminologies used on wine bottles in Austria\, Alsace\, and Germany and then Warren will walk us through each wine. It will be a great opportunity to compare and contrast the nuances and differences between different climates\, terroirs\, and winemaking methods. Warren will walk us through the whole spectrum of Riesling styles…and by the end you will be an expert in deciphering the labels of Europe’s great Rieslings and more importantly\, will be able to see the differences (if you’ve not had the pleasure already!) in style achieved by the Riesling grape.
