Philadelphia German Wine Society Wine Tasting Event (Sept. 19, 2018)

We are delighted to announce the return of our long-time friend and supporter, Derrick Vinnicombe, who will share with us wines of the estate owners he represents, such as Weingut Bollig-Lehnert, Weingut Paul Anheuser, Weingut Dr Heyden, G.A.Schneider and Weingut Dr. H. Thannisch. The specific wines for our event are being finalized, but, as the date is drawing near, we did not want to delay the formal announcement further. The tasting will be held at the award winning Caffe Aldo Lamberti in Cherry Hill, NJ . Recently honored by the Wine Spectator for their wine selection, our Chapter has enjoyed the wonderful service and outstanding food at this location for the past several years. For this event, a cold anti pasta, hot appetizers and pasta served family style will be included with the tasting. Please plan to join us for this very special event.

DIRECTIONS:
>From Philadelphia and points West, take the Ben Franklin Bridge, and exit from one of the two left lanes. Follow signs to Routes 30 – 130; stay in one of the two left lanes. Two miles East of the Bridge, the highway divides at the top of a ramp. Bear left, towards Routes 38 & 70. At the bottom of the ramp, move over one (or two) lanes to your right, to stay on Route 70 East. Go straight for three miles; 1/4 mile before you come to the restaurant, you will see a sign for Grove Street. Lamberti’s is on your right on Route 70 at the Grove Street turn. (Traffic is normally light on 70 East from the Bridge to Grove St., and the normal ride is 7 minutes.)

>From NJ or points South, take Route 295 North to Route 561, Haddonfield/Gibbsboro, and turn left towards Haddonfield. Follow 561 until it ends, at Kress Liquors. The road will fork to your left; stay in the right lane and bear left onto Potter Street. Follow Potter to the light at Kings Highway, then jog across onto Grove Street. Stay on Grove Street through Haddonfield, and across the bridge over Cooper River. As you are approaching the intersection of Grove Street and Route 70, right before 70 you will see a sign on your left for Commerce Bank. Turn left into the bank parking lot, and continue straight past the bank into the back parking lot at Lamberti’s.
