Members and guests of Members of the San Francisco Chapter of the German Wine Society will gather on Saturday, February 24, 2024 from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm for a Spectacular tasting of 30 wines. The event will be at the home of Barry and Joan Boothe (2435 Divisadero Street in San Francisco). Street parking is available in the area.

Food:  There will be our usual buffet spread of enough delectable food to make a full meal, including dessert.

Wine:  We will have three flights of wines featuringa)several grape varietals (Riesling, Rosé, Spätburgunder, Grauer Burgundy, and Scheurebe); b) wines from several regions (Rheingau, Mosel, Ruwer,Rheinhessen, Pfalz, Baden, and Nahe); c) several categories of wines (Sekt Trocken, Sekt Brut, Prestige Brut, Trocken GG, Trocken Alte Reben, “1000L” – off dry, Kabinett, Spätlese, Eiswein, Auslese, Beerenauslese, and Trockenbeerenauslese) and d) wines from many vintages (1976, 1994, 2000, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017). This will be another wonderful evening of fine & rare German wines from the Chapter cellar and the cellar of our Chapter President. We look forward to seeing you!
