Bourgogne expliqué
Mark your calendars and save the date! We are in for a treat on April 11 as our own Dr. of the Grape, John Eld, explains, demystifies and guides us through the intricacies of the wines of Burgundy. We in the Pittsburgh Chapter of the AWS are privileged to have amongst our members a person with the wine knowledge that John possesses, and we are fortunate that he is so adept at sharing that wisdom.
Don’t miss this chance to increase your Burgundian savvy and taste some wonderful wines!

Notes from the Chair
Let me begin my notes by congratulating all of the winemakers who won awards in the American Wine Society Amateur Wine competition! Bravo and brava! The event was a grand success, and as usual, we all learned new ways to taste, enjoy, and make wine. Special thanks to Rich Ryba and all of the volunteers for their tireless work on an early Sunday morning.
One of the hundreds of attendees on Sunday was the wine writer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Ms. Elizabeth Downer and she wrote an article describing her experiences at the Conference. It’s located at the link:
I would, once again, like to encourage you to sign up for email notification of any new posts here on our little space on the web. It’s easy to do, and safe. Just scroll to the bottom of this page and click in the box titled “follow by email”. If you do, you’ll receive notice any time that something new is posted. It’s an easy and convenient way to keep up to date on the events and the tasting notes, check the calendar, and become aware of any other news worthy items for or about the AWS.
To close, in the words of Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, remember that “Burgundy makes you think off silly things, Bordeaux makes you talk of them and Champagne makes you do them.” I look forward to seeing all of you in April. Bring a guest and share the joy that wine brings.
