Invitation: The New 2021 Wine Law in Germany - Presentation + Tasting led by Annette Schiller, ombiasy WineTours, at the German Wine Society (Capital Chapter) on March 11, 2023

You can register and pay for this event in either of two ways.  

First, you can register on our chapter website, https://germanwinesocietydc.org , and make payment by PayPal.   You will need to create a GWS account for the website if you do not already have one, and you will also need to have a PayPal account, as we cannot accept payment by other forms of credit or online transfer.  If you are coming as a couple or other group, you can either register and pay for each individual separately, or do it as part of a single transaction and complete the payment on PayPal together.  If you do a single transaction, please also email the Secretary of the GWS Capital Chapter at the address below to provide the names of each individual coming, as the individual names will not all appear on the website form for multiple persons registering together.

Second, if you prefer to register by mail and pay by check for the event, please clip off the registration form attached to this notice, indicate the names of all who will be attending, and mail a check made out to the German Wine Society in the proper amount along with the form to: 

Carl Willner

President and Secretary, GWS Capital Chapter

1014 Reserve Champion Drive

Rockville, MD 20850

You can also reach the Secretary by e-mail at carl.willner1@verizon.net .

Whether you are registering by mail or online, please be sure to provide the names of all persons for whom you are registering, and pay the appropriate price depending on whether each person is a GWS member (with annual dues paid), or a non-member.   You can also become a member or renew, if your membership is not current, together with your registration for this event by including an annual $35 dues payment (for an individual or a couple), through PayPal, or by mail using a check, in the same manner as registering for the event.   If you have been a member of the GWS Capital Chapter in the past but are not sure of your current membership status, please email the Secretary at the above e-mail to confirm your status.      

We are modifying our policy with respect to proof of covid-19 vaccination this year, after two years of experience with in-person events following the pandemic.  Members and guests who have attended our in-person events in 2021 or 2022, and shown proof of covid-19 vaccination previously, will no longer be required to do so for admission.  For the health and safety of all members and guests, however, those members and guests who have not attended one of our in-person events in the past two years will be required to affirm that they are fully vaccinated for covid-19 when registering (this may be done by email to the Secretary) and should be prepared to provide proof of vaccination when arriving at the event if requested.  Thereafter, for future events they will be treated as other members and guests who have previously attended and shown proof of vaccination.  Proof may consist of either sending an e-mail in advance to the GWS Capital Chapter Secretary with a legible photo image of a vaccination card, or producing a vaccination card at the event either physically or by a legible photo image at the time of signing in at the event upon request.  Members and guests who fail to provide proof of vaccination and have not previously done so will not be admitted.  Masks will not be necessary. 

All GWS members and guests are reminded that alcohol consumption can lead to intoxication.   Members and guests should use public transportation to events, rely on a designated driver, or taste the wines rather than finish them.

If you have questions about this event, you may contact the event organizer and presenter, Annette Schiller, at aschiller@ombiasypr.com  .   For questions about registration and membership, please contact Carl Willner, Capital Chapter President and Secretary, at  carl.willner1@verizon.net .
