Notes from the Chair
The Rhone Valley is a huge, diverse area. The range of wines produced is as large as
the appellation. Aside from a myriad of wine styles, the region produces a wide
array of wines in all price ranges.
Fortunately, we in the Pittsburgh Chapter of the AWS have a resident
expert! Barbara Johns took us on a tour
of the Northern and Southern Rhone, and provided expert commentary on Rhone
style wines from around the globe. Thanks
to Barbara for an informative and entertaining presentation.
Thanks, also, to our co-hosts for the National
Tasting, Susan Colville and Michele Elder.
It takes a lot of effort and thought to provide food that compliments
the wine. And of course, thanks to our
pourers, Tim and Britany Altimus for another excellent job. I was wearing light colored trousers, and
they were still light colored when I went home!
As we enter the fall season, my thoughts turn to
Election Time, as do yours, I’m certain.
Yes, ‘tis the season for Board Member nominations. To ease your journey into those thoughts, we
are providing an online survey form, much like the survey regarding the
upcoming program slate for 2014. Simply
click on the link below, and fill in your nominations. You may nominate more than one person for
each position, and some will be filled by multiple members. So, nominate early and nominate often!
As Will Rogers once said, “We always want the best
man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs.” Hopefully, we’ll find that “best man” for
next year!
