Welcome to the Puget Sound Amateur Wine and Beermakers Club
The objectives of the Puget Sound Amateur Wine and Beer makers Club are to foster a general interest in wines and beers and to give club members a means of exchanging information on wine making and beer making methods, materials and equipment. Meetings are held monthly on the first Friday evening. Meetings start off with a social period where members share their wine and beer in conversation followed by a great potluck and then there is a short business meeting, technical seminar/discussion, or a guest speaker. We end the meeting with a raffle of items brought and donated by members. There are over 100 club members and a typical monthly meeting has 50 – 65 attendees.
Our General Club Meetings are held the 1st Friday of each month at the Federal Way Senior Center,
4016 So. 352nd Street, Auburn, WA 98001
Our club hosted a booth Friday May 21st at the WineMaker Magazine Conference at the Skamania Lodge, in Stevenson, WA. It was a great opportunity to share our members’ wine making talents with fellow wine enthusiasts. Thanks to members helping with organizing and pouring at the booth; Jerome & Mary Robbins, Martha Battles, Grace Nilsson, Peter DeGray, Pamela Maddess, Chuck Holmquist, and Dawne Swanson.
All four of our conference attending members were presented with their medals at the awards dinner Saturday night.
Jerome Robbins; Silver- Red Blend and Bronze- Lemberger, Mary Robbins; Silver- Pinotage, Dawne Swanson; Silver- Marionberry, Bobby Hyman; Bronze- Camenere.
The next General Club Meeting is Friday, August 6th, at 6:15 pm. There will not be a general meeting in July due to the long weekend holiday.
