This year’s Membership Meeting of the German Wine Society Capital Chapter (Washington DC, USA) took place on February 26, 2022. As with our last Membership Meeting in February 2021, due to continuing health concerns, the Membership Meeting this year was held using Zoom.
The mission of the German Wine Society is to promote the understanding, appreciation, and knowledge of German wines. We conduct tasting seminars and pairing meals to enhance the appreciation of German wines and assist our members in their continuing education. If you enjoy German wine and culture, or just think you might, please don't be shy!
Also check out our official website (http://germanwinesocietydc.org/) for events and additional information.
The meeting began with reports from the officers of the Chapter, followed by the Board election, and then open discussion of other chapter business and questions. The Chapter Board also proposed several amendments to our Chapter By-Laws, which have not been updated since 2014.
The Chapter Board was re-elected.
The business portion of the meeting was followed by the fun part - a multiple-choice quiz on knowledge of German wines on the theme of “What Wine Am I Drinking?” with the opportunity to win several wine prizes from out cellar.
The last event of the German Wine Society - Washington DC was the Holiday Dinner at the Cosmos Club (in person)
