As They Say in New York

Thank you to all involved for a fantastic tasting last night.  We celebrated 50 years of the American Wine Society with a tasting of the wines of Dr. Konstantin Frank.  A half century ago, pioneering viticulturist Dr. Konstantin Frank founded the AWS to promote wine appreciation in the United States. Today, his winery and his family continue a tradition of quality winemaking and innovation. We were treated to a video where Fred and Meaghan Frank discuss their winery today and reflect on this milestone year for the AWS.

If you were unable to attend last evening, the video is available here:

Our host for the evening was Bev Wise, with an assist from Costco!  An assortment of treats that complimented the wine certainly added to the tasting, and Bev has promised that the Frico recipe is not that hard to duplicate.  Thank you, Bev.  We really appreciate it!

As usual, a round of applause, and thanks, to our Co-Vice Chair Humans, Bob and Kevin Dering for arranging delivery of the wine and the expert pouring.  Most of the wines are available in your Fine Wine and Good Spirits stores, but with “limited distribution”.  That means check first!

Thanks to all that helped set up the tables and chairs, distributed the food, and poured the wines. Most of all, thanks to all who attended.  We hope that you enjoyed the tasting, and the camaraderie.  If you did, tell a friend.  If you didn’t, tell someone on the Board.  All of our contact information is on the web page under a separate tab.
