Invitation: All Sorts of Sparklers: How do the Bubbles get into that Bottle? - Wine Tasting by the American Wine Society (John Marshall Chapter in Virginia) with Annette Schiller on February 19, 2023, USA

Invitation by Doug Beakes

Annette Schiller, our local expert on French, German and Austrian wine who is also an expert on bubblies, will present different methods of making sparkling wine. Some of these are  Pét-nat, traditional, transfer, tank, asti and carbonation methods. She will cover some of these and others because this list is not exhaustive. So come on to Pearmund Cellars and enjoy the weightlessness of bubblies -- perhaps you will attain the Unbearable Lightness of Being as authored by Milan Kundera -- or maybe you'll just enjoy some bubbles.

The next day is a holiday, so there are no excuses for not attending!

Please RSVP by submitting $20 to awsbeakes@gmail.com via paypal. Use the "friends" option so we don't get charged a fee. You can also use zelle (use my phone no 703-626-0313), but let me know by email that you've used zelle so I can monitor the payment.
