AMHS ANNUAL WINE-TASTING ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2018

You should definitely not miss out on our most popular event of the year, which will be held Sunday, November 11, 2018, at 1:00 p.m. in Casa Italiana.

We are pleased to once again present our annual lunch and wine-tasting. Our wine-making members and friends will be bringing samples of their production to share with the attending members, friends and guests.

This year, the lunch will be provided by one of everybody’s favorites, Three Brothers Italian Restaurant. The menu includes orecchiette with broccoli rabe in garlic and olive oil, sausage and peppers, rice, salad, bread, and dessert.

Beverages are included. And we owe a big thank-you to the Washington Winemakers who always help with this event, and especially to Jim Gearing, who is organizing the winemakers’ participation. Based on previous years, there is sure to be a variety of wonderful homemade wines to be tasted This year the many varieties of wines to taste this year, are being provided by winemakers including Osvaldo Barsi, Carlo Clinton, Jim Gearing, Stefano Di Girolamo, Jack Grimaldi, Darren Sabin, John Paul Maye and Wayne Witowski.

Before the winetasting begins, Tom Savage, a wine importer who is very knowledgeable about the wines of Abruzzo and Molise and the other regions of Italy as well, will give us a brief talk on those wines but also about his travels to Italy to explore the potential of these wonderful wines. The program will begin with a brief AMHS general meeting at which time we will elect members of the board of directors (please read related article by the Nominating Committee about the candidates and the election).

We will also have a unique raffle prize: Private Wine Class, donated by Total Wines, for a minimum of 14 to a maximum of 20 participants. The winner selects the class, tasting 8 Californian, Italian, or French wines. Tickets are $20.00 for four (4) chances to win. This prize is valued at $500.00. Special thanks to AMHS Board member Helen Free for contacting Total Wine for donation.
