Hello,

I certainly need to start this newsletter with a big THANK YOU to the Grillons. I can't imagine what could have happened to make our chapter family picnic more perfect. George and Jackie went above and beyond with the pool, the fishing, horseback rides followed by the house tour. They have made our transition from the much beloved Wood's home so much easier than any of us could have imagined.

Our August tasting will be at the home of Dick and Emily Murray, Sunday, Aug. 17th at 2 p.m. You can call them to RSVP. You may want to call early, as we will be limiting attendance to 30 because of seating concerns. Dick also asked me to tell you that the intersection of Green and Anchor streets is closed due to the Westminster sinkhole problem.

This will be our national tasting meeting so come prepared to score (no strong cologne/perfume) and turn your sheets in. The topic is CABERNET VINTAGE COMPARISON: 1999 VS 2000 OR 2000 VS 2001. It should turn out to be an interesting and entertaining tasting.

The Maryland Wine Festival is soon upon us so please remember to get in touch with Emily Johnston. She needs lots of volunteers to make the Wine Education booth run smoothly. So if you haven't heard from her yet give her a call or send email to egjohnston@compuserve.com.
