January 15 Club Meeting. Come to SHW’s January 15 meeting and learn about wines not commonly seen on retail wine store shelves. The evening’s guest speaker is Eric Danch with Danch and Granger, a company that imports central and eastern European wines. Eric will be sharing the wine making history of this vast area and talk about cultivars specific to the regions. We’ll be tasting wines from Serbia, Croatia, Slovakia, Austria and Hungary.
Tasting Table. The Tasting Table is back at the January meeting. What’s the Tasting Table? Members anonymously bring a bottle of wine and meeting attendees anonymously provide written feedback.
- If bringing a bottle, please just label it with the varietal / blend and vintage. No names or identifiers.
- Find Donna Bettencourt who will be waiting for you at the Tasting Table near the name badges.
- Before and after the meeting, members taste the wines on the table and provide written responses.
- When you’re ready to leave the meeting, pick up your bottle and the written feedback.
February 19 Meeting. Please note that SHW’s February 19 meeting is the evaluation of members’ new (2024) white and rosé wines.
