We are thrilled for the return of in-person tastings, and what better way to celebrate than to usher the return of our annual regional picnic?!
We are planning a slimmed down version of past picnics, think of this more as a neighborhood gathering. We will have a competition, but will be run very similar to the Amatuer Wine Competition that occurs at the National Conference. Every one will get a chance to score and contribute to the overall awards. Some of our esteemed Certified Judges will be on hand to assist participants in scoring. Lunch will be served, and then Frank Penedes, CEO of WineNOW will be joining us in the afternoon for an education session on Portuguese wines.
A big objective for this picnic is for a number of our regional chapters to socialize together and build camaraderie not only among their own chapters but across all chapters. A number of chapters in our area are starting to host multi-chapter events, which is a wonderful way to meet new people and find new ideas for tasting opportunities.
Any questions, please contact Jennifer Perry, Southeastern PA RVP rvpjenniferperry@gmail.com or Bob Hale, Northeast PA RVP skihale@rcn.com
Tables and chairs will be provided, but please bring pop-up canopies should you wish to sit in the shade.
Lunch will be served, but we are asking attendees to bring a potluck dessert.
