SUMMARY:Embassy of Luxembourg Wine Tasting:   Friday\, September 28
DESCRIPTION:We will once again be at the beautiful Embassy of Luxembourg in Washington\, D.C. for our next tasting on Friday\, September 28\, 2018 at 7 pm (with guests admitted for registration starting at 6:30 pm).  The tasting will conclude at 9 pm.  Many of you will remember our very successful events at the Embassy of Luxembourg in 2011\, 2013\, and 2016\, 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 will be Ambassador Sylvie Lucas\, and in preparing for this event we have worked closely with Consul Stan Myck\, who has aided us in obtaining all these wonderful Luxembourg wines. We will offer a very extensive selection of twenty-two wines from Luxembourg for this event\, including the wines of both of Luxembourg’s largest producers\, the Domaines Vinsmoselle cooperative and Bernard-Massard\, and one wine from the Domaine de l’Etat and one Rosé supplied by the Embassy and not available for public sale\, but served only at diplomatic and other government functions.  Most of the wines from Luxembourg are white\, and tend to be dry\, but we have also been able to include a few red and rosé wines.  During the latter part of the evening\, we will serve several of the sweeter “specialty wines” from Luxembourg\, such as Vin Moelleux (mellow or medium-sweet wine)\, Vendange Tardive (late harvest)\, Vin de Glace (ice wine) and Vin de Paille  (straw wine)\, which are produced in very limited quantities and rarely exported – 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 Europe!   Lovers of the high-praedikat wines from the producers of the Mosel in Germany will find these specialty wines a fascinating comparison.  Wines for this event will include: Embassy wines: Welcoming glass: Caves Bernard-Massard\, Cuvée de l’Ecusson\, Brut Crémant Domaine de l’Etat\, Côteaux de Remich\, Grand Premier Cru\, Riesling\, 2014 Schram & Fils\, Côtes de Wellenstein\, Gris de Pinot Gris (rosé)\, 2014 Domaines Vinsmoselle Wines: Cuvée Millésimée\, Brut Crémant\, 2013 “Spirit of Schengen”\, Pinot Noir\, Brut Crémant  Greiveldange Herrenberg\, Grand Premier Cru\, Auxerrois\, 2016 Stadtbredimus Rousenberg\, Grand Premier Cru\, Pinot Blanc\, 2016 Wormeldange Mohrberg\, Grand Premier Cru\, Pinot Gris\, 2016 Wormeldange Weinbour\, Grand Premier Cru\, Riesling\, 2016 Machtum Gollebour\, Grand Premier Cru\, Gewürztraminer\, 2016 Vin Rosé\, Appellation d’Origine Protégée\, Elbling\, 2016 Château Edmond de la Fontaine\, Cuvée Réserve élevée en barrique\, Pinot Noir\, 2014 Vieilles Vignes\, Grand Premier Cru\, Riesling\, 2015 Caves Bernard-Massard Wines: Grand Premier Cru\, Riesling\, 2013 Grand Premier Cru\, Pinot Gris\, 2014 Grand Premier Cru\, Auxerrois\, 2014 Vin de Qualité\, Rivaner\, 2014 Domaines Vinsmoselle “Specialty” Wines: Vin Moelleux\, Grand Premier Cru\, Gewürztraminer\, 2016 Vendange Tardive\, Grand Premier Cru\, Pinot Gris\, 2015 Vin de Paille\, Grand Premier Cru\, Auxerrois\, 2015 Vin de Paille\, Grand Premier Cru\, Gewürztraminer\, 2015 Vin de Glace\, Grand Premier Cru\, Riesling\, 2016 And throughout the evening\, the Embassy will be serving hors d’oeuvres and amuse-bouches\, as well as desserts prepared by the Embassy’s French chef to accompany the wines.The price for this event is $72 for members\, and $80 for non-member guests.  Registration will be limited to 60 guests\, so register early to avoid disappointment.  You can register and pay for this event in either of two ways.   You can register on our website (germanwinesocietydc.org) and make payment by Paypal.   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 can also pay by check\, made out to the German Wine Society\, and mailed to the GWS Secretary\, Joseph Aguiar\, at 1130 45th Place SE\, Washington\, DC 20019\, along with the completed form below.   The deadline to register for this event is September 25\, 2018\, as we must provide a list of guests to the Embassy for security reasons several days in advance of the event.   There will be no admissions at the door for those who have not registered in advance. \nRegister for this Event click hereThe Embassy of Luxembourg is located at 2200 Massachusetts Avenue\, N.W.\, Washington\, D.C. 20008\, 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.All 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.The coordinator for this event is GWS Capital Chapter\, President Carl Willner\, who can be reached at 202-674-9044\, or at carl.willner1@verizon.net .

SUMMARY:Luxembourg Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:We have been invited to return to the beautiful Embassy of Luxembourg on Friday\, October 25\, 2013 at 7 p.m. for another exciting opportunity to enjoy the wines of the “other Mosel\,” the Moselle River in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.Those who attended our last tasting at the Luxembourg Embassy in March 2011 will recall what a wonderful evening it was\, and this event promises to be even more spectacular\, with about twice as many wines — we had seven last time — and expect over a dozen to be available this time.Some of the dry and sparkling wine varieties will be familiar from the last tasting\, but this time we will also have many of the sweeter “specialty wines” of Luxembourg\, including the vendange tardive (late harvest)\, vin moelleux (mellow wine)\, vin de glace (ice wine)\, and vin de paille (straw wine).This is truly a unique tasting opportunity\, as Luxembourg’s specialty wines are produced in very small quantities and are not normally available in the United States — we have them thanks to the assistance of our Embassy contacts.Ambassador of Luxembourg Jean-Louis Wolzfeld will deliver some opening remarks on the history of wine-making in Luxembourg\, its wine region and the types of wines. In addition\, Ambassador Wolzfeld is choosing several special wines from his Embassy’s cellar that we will be able to taste in comparison with the Luxembourg wines that are now in our Society Cellar. Light refreshments will be served during the tasting.

SUMMARY:Luxembourg Wine Tasting at Luxembourg Embassy
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendars! We have been invited to an exciting opportunity to enjoy the wines of the “other Mosel\,” the Moselle River in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg\, at the beautiful setting of the Embassy of Luxembourg on March 18\, 2011 at 6:30 p.m.   The price for the evening’s tasting is $25 per participant.  This  amount will form our charitable donation\, as requested by the Embassy in lieu of an event charge. The deadline to submit reservations for this event is March 14\, 2011.  The Embassy of Luxembourg is able to accommodate a maximum of 40 guests.  As this event is expected to be quite popular\, please send your check promptly with your reservation.  Also\, please bring identification for admission to the Embassy. About Luxembourg Winemaking: Luxembourg has a 2000-year history of wine-making\, but its wine production is not large and  exports are mainly to Belgium and Germany\, so this tasting affords a unique chance to try a variety of wines from Luxembourg in the United States.  In addition to sharing a great wine-producing region with Germany (Luxembourg’s vineyards in the Moselle valley adjoin Germany’s Upper Mosel)\, most of the grapes grown in Luxembourg are also found in Germany\, including the noble Riesling\, Pinot Gris (Ruländer)\, Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder)\, Gewürztraminer\, Auxerrois\, Mueller-Thurgau\, and Elbling.   However\, most of the wines of Luxembourg are drier than those produced in Germany\, and the classification system varies considerably from the one familiar to German wine-lovers\, so this should be a very interesting experience in learning about the different ways that one of Germany’s neighbors can produce fine wines using the same grapes and river valley as our familiar German Mosel wines.   The Ambassador of Luxembourg\, Jean-Paul Senninger\, who is from Luxembourg’s wine-growing region\, will present the wines personally\, and there will also be a presentation on wine-making in Luxembourg. About the Evening: The four principal types of wines that will be available come from one of Luxembourg’s largest producers\, Bernard-Massard\, and its Clos des Rochers estate.  These include Clos des Rochers Riesling\, Clos des Rochers Pinot Gris\, and Clos des Rochers Auxerrois\, as well as a Bernard-Massard Cuvee de l’Ecusson Cremant\, Luxembourg’s well-known sparkling wine.  In addition\, the Embassy plans to offer some wines for tasting from its private stock\, produced by the State-owned wine institute’s own vineyards and not available for sale to the general public\, likely including a Gewürztraminer.  Through the evening\, the Embassy will be serving light refreshments artfully prepared by its chef.
