Ho Ho Ho, German Wine Society Members and Friends of German Wines, 

We’re making our list and checking it twice …

We know you’ve been nice, so join us at our holiday paired dinner at the Cosmos Club, Saturday, December 3, 2011, starting at 7 p.m.  The address for our tasting is 2121 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20008.   Metro is near and parking is ample.

The venue is 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, has graciously offered to provide brief tours of the Cosmos Club starting at 6:30 p.m. prior to our dinner at 7 p.m.  When you reserve, please indicate if you will be joining us for what is sure to be an interesting and enlightening insight into the club, its building, and its history.
