Notes From the Chair
Greetings,
I
hope that everyone enjoyed last month’s tasting and learned
something about the food and wines of Navarra. Unfortunately, it
appears that they don’t export a lot of their wines, so if you
happen to run across some Navarra wines in your travels, be sure to
pick up a bottle of two to enjoy. They rarely disappoint and are
very good value.
Well,
I am delighted to say that all my harping and pleading finally payed
off! My thanks go to those who stepped up to take a position as a
chapter board member. We will be voting on the slate at the October
meeting.
This
month we will again have the expertise of Drednaught Wines guiding us
through a tasting of Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Franc is one of the
twenty most planted grape varieties worldwide. In many regions, it
is planted as a major component for Bordeaux style blends such as
Meritage wines. I am sure that you won’t want to miss this
program, as Drednaught never fails to give us a great program.
-Matt
