SUMMARY:POTOMAC WINE CRUISE
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to cast off on the Potomac for a German wine cruise!  Yes\, the Capital Chapter of the German Wine Society is once again holding our Potomac wine cruise this summer\, back by popular demand after a series of successful voyages.  As we did in July 2021\, 2022\, 2023\, and 2024\, and also regularly for several years in 2010-2013 and earlier\, we will enjoy the traditional GWS summer wine cruise past the beautiful river banks and monuments of our nation’s Capital.   Please join us to taste many wines from Germany and other countries as we cruise along the Potomac for two hours\, from 5 pm to 7 pm on Saturday\, July 19\, 2025.   We will board Capitol River Cruises’ Nightingale from the Georgetown waterfront\, at 3050 K Street N.W.\, Washington\, D.C. – the end of 31st Street\, by the Fiola Mare restaurant.  Be sure to be on the wharf before departure time – the cruise boat cannot wait for late arrivals!   We can accommodate only 60 guests on the Nightingale for this event\, so reserve early to avoid disappointment.  Reservations for this event are due by Monday\, July 14\, 2025\, to give us sufficient time to have enough wine and supplies for all aboard. Parking is readily available in garages along the Georgetown riverfront\, and it is possible to walk from Metro at the Foggy Bottom station as well (if you are a good walker).   We will be providing all the wines for this event\, as well as disposable plastic glasses and cutlery\, paper plates and napkins\, and will also bring deli sandwiches or other snacks and desserts.  Guests are also welcome to bring their own favorite cheeses\, breads or other food on board\, but there will be enough food even if you do not choose to do so. This will be a relaxing cruise\, with no presentation\, allowing everyone to concentrate on the wines\, good company and atmosphere.   There are many outdoor and indoor dining establishments along the Georgetown waterfront for dinner after the cruise\, which we encourage you to try. The Nightingale is a boat we have used for several previous cruises.  It is all on one level\, with tables and chairs\, and a bar area from which we can serve wines (and where you can buy other drinks too if you choose).  It also has protection against inclement weather\, though we have been fortunate with most of our past wine cruises (sometimes we have weathered rain or a brief storm) and reasonably hope for a sunny afternoon once again.  The cruise will take place rain or shine\, unless weather conditions do not allow the cruise to set out safely\, in which case we will reschedule or provide refunds. THE WINES:  The wines for our cruise will be mostly whites but with a few reds. They will be primarily German but with one Austrian wine included as well.  Both dry and sweet wines will be offered\, including several Kabinett and Spätlese prädikat wines and even two Auslese!  Because this is not a formal presentation\, and we will only have one or two bottles on hand of each of the wines listed\, everyone will not get the same wines\, but all on the voyage should have the chance to savor around 10-12 different wines\, out of the 20 types available.  We look forward to sharing the lovely qualities of these German and international wines with our members and guests again.  Here’s the wine list we have planned (wines are single bottles unless two bottles are noted): German Wines (8 of 13 German wine regions represented!) Whites NV Dr. Loosen “Dr. L”  Riesling Sekt Mosel – 2 bottles 2017 Bollig-Lehnert Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Mosel (2 bottles\, 3 if needed) 2022 Carl Loewen Ritsch Riesling Auslese Mosel 2022 Carl Loewen Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett Mosel 2018 Dönnhoff Deichen Riesling GG Nahe 2017 Dr. Heyden Silvaner Old Vines Trocken Rheinhessen  2013 Fitz-Ritter Dürkheimer Gewürztraminer Spätlese Pfalz – 2 bottles 2016 G.A.

To register and pay by PayPal\, go to our chapter website: germanwinesocietydc.org. You will need to create a GWS account for the website if you do not already have one\, and you will also need to have a PayPal account\, as we cannot accept payment by other forms of credit or online transfer.  If you are coming as a couple or other group\, you can either register and pay for each individual separately\, or do it as part of a single transaction and complete the payment on PayPal together.  If you do a single transaction\, please also email the Secretary of the GWS Capital Chapter at the address above to provide the names of each individual coming\, as the individual names will not all appear on the website form for multiple persons registering together.   To register and pay by check\, detach and complete the form below\, indicating all names of persons who will be coming\, and mail it\, with your check made out to the ‘German Wine Society’\, to the Chapter President and Secretary\, Carl Willner: 1014 Reserve Champion Drive\, Rockville\, MD  20850.  Cut the reservation form below and send with your check – do not mail the entire page.   If you have questions about the event\, please contact Carl Willner by email at carl.willner1@verizon.net. HEALTH AND SAFETY:  We are not requiring any special health precautions to participate in this event\, but if you do contract covid-19 or other communicable disease before this event\, please respect our other guests and stay home to recover.  Refunds can be provided in these circumstances if we are notified prior to the day of the event.  Masks will not be necessary.  All GWS members and guests are reminded that alcohol consumption can lead to intoxication.   Members and guests should use public transportation to events or rely on a designated driver\, and if those are not available\, taste the wines in moderation rather than finishing them. We are eagerly anticipating seeing all of you in person again for this comfortable afternoon on the Potomac!

SUMMARY:GSW Summer Wine Cruise - July 10th\, 2021
DESCRIPTION:ANNOUNCING GERMAN WINE SOCIETY’S RETURN TO IN-PERSON EVENTS WITH WINE CRUISE! Get ready to cast off on the Potomac for a German wine cruise!  Yes\, the Capital Chapter of the German Wine Society is resuming in-person events this summer.  Our kick-off will be an experience we have missed for several years (though it was a regular event from 2010-2013 and earlier)\, the traditional GWS summer wine cruise past the beautiful river banks and monuments of our nation’s Capital\, passing Hains Point and the newly redeveloped Southwest Waterfront.   Please join us to enjoy many wines from Germany and other countries as we cruise along the Potomac for two hours\, from 4 pm to 6 pm on Saturday\, July 10\, 2021.   We will board Capitol River Cruises’ Nightingale II from the Georgetown waterfront\, at 3050 K Street N.W.\, Washington\, D.C. – the end of 31st Street\, by the Fiola Mare restaurant.  Be sure to be on the wharf before departure time – the cruise boat cannot wait for late arrivals!   We can accommodate only 45 guests on the Nightingale II for this event\, so reserve early to avoid disappointment.  Reservations for this event are due by Tuesday\, July 6\, 2021\, to give us sufficient time to have enough wine for all aboard. Parking is readily available in garages along the Georgetown riverfront\, and it is possible to walk from Metro at the Foggy Bottom station as well.   We will be providing all the wines for this event\, as well as disposable plastic glasses and cutlery\, paper plates and napkins.  Guests should plan to bring their own food on board for greater safety\, though we may provide some surprise treats.   This will be a relaxing cruise\, with no presentation\, allowing everyone to concentrate on the wines\, good company and atmosphere.   There are many outdoor and indoor dining establishments along the Georgetown waterfront for dinner after the cruise\, which we encourage you to try. The Nightingale II is a boat we have used for some previous cruises\, and is all on one level\, with tables and chairs\, and a bar from which we can serve wines.  It also has protection against inclement weather\, though we have been fortunate with our past wine cruises and reasonably hope for a sunny afternoon once again.  The cruise will take place rain or shine\, unless weather conditions do not allow the cruise to set out safely\, in which case we will reschedule or provide refunds. The wines for our cruise will be a mixture of whites and reds\, mostly German but with some other international and U.S. wines included as well for variety – all with some German or Austrian grape connection.  Get ready to savor some very special\, high-prädikat wines!  We want to remind everyone of the lovely qualities of German wines we have missed sharing with each other in-person.  Here’s the wine list we have planned: Welcome wines – nv Peter Lauer Riesling Sparkling Mosel or nv Dr. Loosen Riesling Sparkling Mosel  2018 Villa Wolf Pinot Gris or Gewürztraminer Pfalz  2017 Dr. Loosen Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Mosel  2014 Otium Blaufränkisch\, United States  2015 Otium Gruner Veltliner\, United States  2012 Shelter Winery Spatburgunder\, Baden  2016 Clemens Busch von Roten Schiefer Riesling Mosel  2017 Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling Kabinett Mosel  2015 St. Christopher Piesporter Goldtropfchen Riesling Spatlese Mosel  2015 Max Ferd. Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese  2013 Siefried Nelson Sweet Riesling\, New Zealand Our event cost is $63 for members and $70 for non-member guests. You can easily register and pay for this event : (This event is fully booked.) You will need to set up a GWS account if you have not done so already for past events\, and have a Paypal account. You may also pay by check by following the instructions below. Please make all checks payable to “German Wine Society” and send by mail to Carl Willner\, Capital Chapter President and Secretary and the organizer for this event\, at 1014 Reserve Champion Drive\, Rockville\, MD 20850\, together with the completed registration form below.  Cut the reservation form below and send with your check – do not mail the entire page.  If you owe dues to qualify for member status\, please submit a $35 dues payment (for an individual or couple) either online or by check.  The Chapter Secretary can confirm your membership status if you are not sure.  If you have questions about the event\, please contact Carl Willner by email at carl.willner1@verizon.net. We are eagerly anticipating seeing all of you in person again for this comfortable afternoon on the Potomac! All GWS members and guests are reminded that alcohol consumption can lead to intoxication. Members and guests should rely on a designated driver\, and if one is not available\, drink in moderation\, tasting the wines rather than finishing them. We are very pleased that it has become safe enough to contemplate doing in-person events once again\, consistent with CDC guidelines and local D.C. health rules.   For added security of our members\, however\, we request that you attend this event only if you have been fully vaccinated against covid-19.  Hopefully\, by the fall\, vaccinations will be widespread enough that we will no longer need to insist on this for all in-person events\, but our country and region are not quite there yet\, and we want everyone to be able to feel secure in attending this special wine cruise.   We have also been informed that the cruise company will ask our guests to wear masks when boarding and interacting with boat crew (the crew has also been vaccinated) but masks will not be required otherwise once everyone is aboard – a significant advantage of doing an outdoor event. ________________________________________________________________________ RESERVATION FORM for Saturday\, July 10\, 2021\, German Wine Society Wine Cruise Member(s) Name(s)  ___________________________________________________ Guest(s) Names(s) _____________________________________________________ Total Enclosed  ________________________  Daytime/ Cell Phone Number ___________ E-Mail _______________________________________________________________
