Why become a host?



Hosting a Meeting of the
Pittsburgh Chapter of the American Wine Society


When you volunteer to host a meeting, you are responsible for the food that accompanies the wines.  You will work with the presenter to choose appropriate foods.  You then buy, cook, or otherwise procure the food, bring it to the meeting, prepare individual plates or shared plates per table, and serve.

For all meetings other than the annual nationality dinner, you will have a budget of up to $150 to spend for an estimated crowd of 30 tasters.  Spend more if you like, but that will be your donation!  In return for your service, you do not pay the fee for the tasting.  Help is always available from other club members, and the Program Chair can help you recruit them.

We have an interesting challenge coming up at our October (2016) meeting.  The theme is “Drink Pink” and it will be a benefit for breast cancer.  We will be looking for pink foods to accompany the range of pink wines.  If you would like to host that meeting, please email our Program Chair, Beverly Wise, at:



Our volunteers make it happen.  Thank you.
