AWS Meadowlands NJ Chapter March Meeting Follow-Up

On Friday March 18, the AWS Meadowlands Chapter enjoyed a great meeting of Wines from Portugal, presented by our own chapter Chair, President Angel Martinez. 

Angel’s presentation was informative, fact filled and fun.  His guide of the history of some of the wines Portugal is famous for was well received by all. 

Recap of wines we enjoyed:

•        Quinta da Mata Fidalga - Espumante Rose

•        Gazela Vino Verde – 2020

•        Quinta de Azevedo Single Vineyard – Vino Verde 2019

•        Silk and Spice Red Blend – 2020

•        Trinca Bolotas – Red Blend – 2019

•        Sandeman – Fine Ruby Port

•        Osborne – Tawny Port

With over 35 people in attendance, enjoying wines and snacks provided by Denise, maker of the World-Famous chocolate covered grapes, a good time was had by all.

Upcoming events, a restaurant night in June, in addition to a possible special tasting dinner later in the year.  We asked for volunteers for the holiday party committee as well the confirmation to the event were discussed.  More details to follow.

Our next meeting is Friday April 29, will be Wines A to Z, presented by fan favorite Angel Martinez.  More details to follow, so lock the date down now. 

Of course, if anyone has any ideas or suggestions how to make this chapter even better, please share, we are only as strong as our members. 

Thank you all and Cheers!

 Wine is a symbol of eternity, health, strength, beauty, adventure, and mystery.  It is this reason that many of you have been asking for a special presentation that will not only quench your thirst but fill your soul.

 Angel is an AWS certified wine judge; WSET certified and is also our AWS Chapter Chair/President, and all around good guy.  He made me say the last part. But it’s true. If anyone can make this a memorable presentation you know that Mr. Martinez is up for the challenge.
