Westchester Wine June Meeting

Unusual Old World White Wines. No Chardonnay, unless blended. This is your opportunity to discern between different sorts of white wines.

However, if you want to bring a Rose' or a very light red (say a pinot noir) then we won't stop you.

But I'm getting oysters. If you want oysters, bring ten bucks and you can have a few. I'll get them from Eastchester Fish gourmet. And we'll be in front of the church. Write down if you want oysters in the RSVP.

As usual: bring a bottle of wine and an appetizer.

OR bring a dish (we encourage this, because we don't need 50 bottles of wine).

OR bring $20.

Please RSVP with what you will bring for an appetizer.

The dish allows us to appreciate the wine more. Those who bring $20 help me ensure we have a variety of wines to contrast to our normal fare. I front the $20 and pool the amount to purchase bottles most individuals might not buy except for special occasions.

When you bring your wine, the organizers will organize, uncork and bag the wines into groups. Then people can taste the wines at their leisure. Yes, it is a blind tasting.

The speaker will make a brief introduction in the beginning, and then toward the end people can talk about the wines. We then take the wines out of the bags.

No charge for event, but there is a donation basket for the cleanup. I will get four bottles of Cava as an apertif. If you'd like a glass, I'd welcome the opportunity to share the cost. Please take the poll so I can get an estimate.

You will reward the organizers if you RSVP with the winery/grape variety, the appetizer and/or meal and/or $20.
