We will be enjoying some of the following activities:

* Competition Updates and Deadlines
* Beer on the Fly (be ready to both drink some brew and consider if you want to volunteer to be the next BoTFly)
* Style Sherpa will be Sherpa-ing
* Problem Beers: If ye be brave, bring a beer that you're not thrilled with and you want honest and constructive feedback on. Don't be afraid. This won't hurt...much.

See you at 7:00pm on Friday at Lake Desire Clubhouse!  Hopefully I will have less of the dumb by then.  

However, I make no promises.

There has been a slight change to our Wine Tasting Event on June 1st is that it is now a self-driving tour.  We were not able to meet the minimum number of attendees to secure the bus, but the wine tasting event is still taking place.  Since there is no paid transportation, this event is now FREE.  😊 

First stop is Nota Bene Cellars located at 9320 15th Ave South, Seattle.  Please plan to arrive by 11:00 a.m.  We will meet owner/winemaker and former club member Tim Narby  to discuss wine making techniques and sample his wine.  Next stop is the Old World Tasting Room located at 3861 1st Ave South in the SODO Industrial District.  Please plan to arrive around 1:00 p.m. where we will meet with owner/winemaker Brad Sherman at Michael Florentino winery who is also former club member .   

Please RSVP your attendance to Laraine Volpe at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. so the two wineries will know how many to expect.  See you there!

FINAL BRACKET RESULTS (PDF)

WHEN: THURSDAY, March 28h, 7:00PM – 9:00PM

WHERE: Michael Florentino Cellars SODO TASTING ROOM - "THE OLD WORLD TASTING ROOM" ADDRESS: 3861 1ST AVE. S., SUITE A, SEATTLE, WA 981347 

On Thursday, March 28th, we held our annual BEWBC March Madness wine event. It was a terrific event with 30 participants and 16 club made wines entered. Thank you to those that attended and entered either a homemade wine and/or a commercial wine. In addition to the club made wine, we had a great lineup of commercial wines from club alumni and commercial wines using BEWBC vineyard sources. Congratulations to Paul Woodward, whose 2011 Syrah/Grenache blend was our club wine winner! Paul's wine advanced the farthest to the final four against three commercial wines. 

 

The event was held at club alumn Brad Sherman's new tasting room in SODO, "The Old World Tasting Room". Many thanks to Brad for hosting us. We look forward to including this Seattle location for consideration of future club events. It was great to see some new faces of those club members who live in Seattle or points further and find it difficult to attend our events in the north end.

This is a heads up that grape ordering via the club website (https://bewbc.org/) will begin MARCH 1ST. 

Grape ordering "Open Enrollment" will go from March 1st thru March 20th.  Open Enrollment (OE) is a time period where all orders are given equal priority access to the available allocation and equality priority if there are shortages at harvest time.  Orders can still be placed after OE, but are fulfilled on an "as available" basis after OE orders and also will be given lower priority (i.e. order will be reduced or cut before OE orders) if there are shortages at harvest time.  

Primary benefits of ordering during OE:

  1. Ensure that you get the grapes you want.
  2. It is EXTREMELY helpful towards our business with the vineyards - the sooner they know what we will purchase from them, the better standing we are with the vineyard. 

Other reminders:

  1. Renew your membership!
  2. Check out the grape offerings in Members section of the website.
  3. Check again when the start of OE is officially announced - THERE WILL BE 1 OR 2 NEW OFFERINGS

Finally: ALL ORDERS ARE A COMMITMENT - if even your circumstances change at harvest time.  This is the way it works with the vineyards' commercial customers (including legal contracts), this must be the way it works with us if we expect these vineyards to sell to us.
