This event is a very special tasting of rare and unusual German Wines from GWS members’ personal cellars.  The wines will be accompanied by a selection of German-inspired appetizers.

The German Wine Society had a similar event last year, and it was one of the most popular tastings of the entire schedule.  Here is how it works:  Members are cordially invited to look into their cellars, some of which are among the most distinguished collections in the country, for favorite bottlings of German wines to share with all of us.  Single bottles are welcome, but two bottles would be even better given members’ enthusiasm for this event.

Wines may be donated to the GWS, which is a non-profit organization, and we gratefully provide donation receipts.  We also recognize that many interesting and valuable wines are not readily available; we will gladly buy wines at mutually agreeable prices.

Cellar Master Marion Groetschel will be coordinating the selection of wines.  Please contact Marion, at: (707) 528-8120 or marion@vinspiration.net or Chapter President Jim Gregory (415) 332 2555 or gws@gregorys.org and say what wines you would like to suggest.

Everyone is most welcome to attend this tasting – it is not necessary to provide a wine yourself.  The event will be very popular.  Reservations are required; reserve your place now by sending in your check.
