"The Chapter is also planning tastings featuring premium boxed wines, wines made from unique varietals, and a one year chapter birthday celebration in future meetings. The Chapter will also again this year participate in the American Wine Society's National Tasting Project on pinot noir, a wine that is soft, subtle and seductive. Everyone is welcome to attend chapter meetings."
