Reflection
and projection
As we come to the end of one trip around the sun, and the
beginning of another, I want to offer a few thoughts and observations.
We had some wonderful tastings in 2013, and are looking
forward to more and better ones in the coming year. The Holiday party was great, and thanks go to
our Regional Vice President, Rich Ryba, and our own Co-Program Director Leeana
Ryba for all of the efforts that they put into that event. The raffle at the party raised $316 which was
pledged to the Alexis Descaunets Hartung Fund for the AWSEF.
The first of our chapter’s wine raffles went very well,
and we’re hoping to continue that feature at the tastings in 2014. Large format bottles have a unique
aspect. They tend to promote one of the
best things about a bottle of wine, and that is sharing it with friends.
I hope that you find some time over the holidays to share
a large bottle with family and friends, or even several small bottles! That “special” occasion is now. Happy Holidays!
Come
to Firelands!
Participants at the National Conference in November
carried home cases of these award winning wines. Now we can taste them in PA!
If
you missed the conference, you can now enjoy the wines as declared by the U.S.
Government to be specific viticultural area. Wines have been made on the
southern shore of Lake Erie near Sandusky since 1880. Firelands was a sponsor of the 2013 Sandusky Conference and their
wine maker conducted one of the sessions.
