German Wine Society Capital Chapter

Our Recent Meeting:

We made our list and checked it twice …

Everyone was nice, so we all got together at our holiday paired dinner at the Cosmos Club, Saturday, December 3.

The venue ... stunning: a private room, the Members Dining Room, in this landmark building. Perfect for that special evening with friends and family!

Our sponsor, Dean Collins, graciously offered brief tours of the Cosmos Club starting at 6:00 p.m. These tours were an interesting and enlightening insight into the club, its building, and its history.

Paired with the dinner, this was also a "first look" at the 2010 J.J. Pruem portfolio. The menu:

Amuse-Bouche
Fig and Goat Cheese Flatbread with pear chutney
Henkell Sekt

Our Starter
Arugula Salad with frisee, radicchio, tomato, feta, Kalamata olives, lemon vinaigrette
2010 JJ Kabinet

Our Entree

2010 Graacher Himmelreich Spaetlese
