The American Wine Society
The American Wine Society was founded in 1967 as a non-profit, educational, consumer-oriented organization for those interested in learning more about all aspects of wine. On October 7, 1967, around 200 grape growers, home winemakers, and wine lovers gathered at Dr. Konstantin Frank’s vineyard on Keuka Lake near Hammondsport, NY for the AWS’ initial meeting.
In December of the same year, the thirteen charter members, led by Founder Dr. Konstantin Frank, met to determine the organization structure of AWS and elect officers. Now in its 54th year, the American Wine Society is the largest consumer based wine education organization in North America. Membership is open to anyone interested in wine and over 21 years of age.
In the early days, AWS members were located primarily in the eastern part of the country. As the society grew , we established chapters throughout the eastern U.S., then into the south and Midwest, and finally into western states. Today, the American Wine Society has over 5,000 members in 45 states and 120 chapters across the U.S.
Each November the Society hosts a three-day national conference with two full days of nearly 50 educational seminars to choose from. Winery owners, wine educators, and renowned wine makers are selected to present sessions during this national event. In addition, a program educating members to become AWS certified wine judges is conducted on the day preceding the seminars.
The 2021 American Wine Society National Conference at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City on November 3 to 6, 2021
More than 600 members from all over the USA came to this 3-day event, filled with tastings, seminars and presentations.
As in previous years, Thursday was the day of wine judging. There were full-day courses for those who want to become a certified AWS Wine Judge. This is a 3-year program. Also, the Amateur and Commercial Wine Competitions took place on Thursday.
Friday and Saturday was filled with about 50 wine seminars, led by winery owners, wine educators, and renowned winemakers. The breakfasts, lunches, dinners and after-dinner gatherings provided ample opportunities to network with other AWS members.
Annette and I had had planned to attend the whole conference and spend several days at the Harrah`s Resort in Atlantic City. However, Annette and I did not feel comfortable with the health and safety rules of the 2021 American Wine Society National Conference and therefore did not attend the whole conference as we had done in the previous years. We only went for Annette`s 3 events and did not stay at the Harrah's Resort but at an airbnb in Atlantic City. Thus there is no "Seen Through Christian Schiller`s Camera Lens" overview posting of the event, as I prepared in previous years.
