SUMMARY:Membership Meeting 2016 Rescheduled
DESCRIPTION:This event has been rescheduled to February 5th due to inclement weather conditions on its original date of January 22nd.Dear Members and Friends of the German Wine Society\,  Prosit Neujahr! You are cordially invited to attend this year’s membership meeting on Friday\, February 5th\, 2016. The doors will open at 7:00 and the business meeting will begin sharply at 7:30 pm.  There will be some very good wines from the cellar to drink with our — by now traditional — quiz game and cheeses and bread to go with the wines. There will be a discussion of our dynamic new website\, short reports on finances\, membership and cellar status\, followed by an open discussion of plans for the future.  What would you like to have the society do – what are your expectations?  The Board needs to know!!  It is at this annual meeting we elect new officers (an email with the ballot and candidates has been sent to all GWS members. If you have not received this email please contact Mike Fritze below).  Please consider giving back to the Chapter by serving on the board or by volunteering to plan a monthly tasting.  Your active participation in planning and managing events help the organization grow – and to do so in the direction you choose.  Members can vote in person at the meeting\, or by returning their written ballots by January 17\, 2016. All correspondence in response to this email should be directed to our new Secretary\, Mike Fritze by email at m_fritze@yahoo.com or by mail at 1602 Greenbriar Court\, Reston\, VA 20190. For this event we are returning to the Bombay Room at 3001 Veazey Terrace NW\, Washington\, DC  20008.  Metro is very accessible from the Van Ness stop on the Red Line.  Members pay nothing for this tasting; non-members pay $15 each.  Please make reservations by January 17 so we know how much wine to bring and cheese to buy. We now have two options to reserve and pay for attendance at our events.  You can register for events on our website and make payment by PayPal.  See the website for guidance on how to do this\, germanwinesocietydc.org.  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 send a check\, please make it to the German Wine Society at the address given above for Mike Fritze\, the Secretary. All GWS members and guests are reminded that alcohol consumption can lead to intoxication. Therefore Society members and their guests are expected to drink in moderation at Society events. It is advisable to provide designated drivers where available or mostly to taste rather than consume alcohol when such drivers are not available. \n\n\n\n\nRegister for this Event

SUMMARY:Oktoberfest "Reverse" Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Saturday\, September 21\, at 7 p.m. for our tasting at the Harbour Square Club Room\, which provides us a stunning view of the Washington skyline. The price for this tasting is $25 for members\, $32 for guests.  In years past\, we (virtually) visited the Rheingau\, Rheinhessen\, Pfalz\, and Mosel to celebrate and learn more about these regions’ fine wines. This year we visit some of our lesser well known regions. It is an opportunity to experience wines from our cellar and local retailers along with snacks representing these regions. As with years past\, your pourers (board members) have undertaken considerable research to ensure your experience is both delicious and delectable.Here are a couple of articles to tickle your tongues (best to read them in the order listed):Wines of the Times: Germany’s Rieslings on the Tip of the Tongue\, by Eric Asimovwww.nytimes.com/2013/08/28/dining/reviews/germanys-rieslings-on-the-tip-of-the-tongue.htmlOn the Riesling Road: Day 5 – Dry Fear and Loathing on the Rhine for Theise and Co.?www.stuartpigott.de/?p=3855We have selected the specific wines we’ll be sampling.

SUMMARY:New Vintage Tasting with Phil Bernstein
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our upcoming tasting with Phil Bernstein of Addy Bassins.  The tasting is scheduled for Friday\, February 25\, at 7 p.m. 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. This event will provide an opportunity to taste the new German vintage\, 2009.  This is a vintage that has been widely hailed as excellent by the critics. It also provides a nice contrast to the 2008s we tasted with Phil last year: 2008 was a classic year\, with minerality and acidity rather than lots of sugar; 2009 retains the minerality and acidity but it’s wrapped up in more substance.  In the words of Terry Theise\, 2008 is the little sister who likes dancing; 2009 is the older brother who likes playing sports.  The wines are just arriving\, and now is a great time to sample what is available so you can make choices about what to buy based on the most important information of all — what tastes good to you! The pairs to be served are: 2009 Kruger Rumpf Riesling Feinherb “Schiefer” 2009 Kruger Rumpf Scheurebe 2009 Uerziger Wuerzgarten Riesling Kabinett Merkelbach2009 Uerziger Wuerzgarten Riesling Kabinett Moenchhoff 2009 Dr. Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spaetlese 2009 Dr. Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2001 Doennhoff Kirschheck Riesling Spaetlese 2009 Doennhoff Kirschheck Riesling Spaetlese
