September 2, 2003 Hello, Our August tasting was a little difficult to put together, but a lot of fun to taste through. It was our AWS national tasting project; many thanks go to the Murrays, for their hospitality, and to Nan Slick and Jennifer Hein for their assistance in collecting the wines. The subject was a comparison of two different vintages of Cabernet Sauvignons. Our group blind-tasted 1999 and 2000 pairs of the following, with the Sterling 1999 voted as the strong favorite.
The September meeting will be at the home of Rob and Doreen Nestorick. Our meeting will be a week EARLY this month, Sunday Sep. 14th at 2:00pm so please call them by Thursday the 11th if you plan on attending. Walter and Pat will feature wines from a single surprise winery. So bring your since of adventure and come on down to the Nestoricks on the 14th.
I am happy to announce that we voted to do the Ham Mowbray Wine Basket Scholarship Fundraiser again this year. So please bring your checks for $25.00 (payable to AWSEF) and your bottle of wine valued at $10.00 retail (at least.) Hopefully, there will be enough members joining in to have four or five baskets again this year. I will be taking the checks and wine during the next three meetings, and the drawing will kick off our Champagne gala. If you have any questions about the fundraising project, please feel free to call me.
