Volume 10-8
October 4, 2010
Dear Members,
Happy Autumn! The Giants winning the division is not the only exciting thing happening this season:
OUR NEXT TASTING IS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14
As usual for the Bay Area, we never know what the weather will bring at this time of year, and more importantly, what wine to pair with that weather: a crisp and refreshing white, a jaunty rose, or an earthy, comforting red. Rather than pick just one, your San Francisco chapter will be presenting TEN different varietals from SEVEN different appellations, including whites, reds and even a rose at our annual non-Riesling tasting on October 14. Delicious nibbles and convivial company included!
