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
The next General Club Meeting is Friday, February 3rd, at 6:15 pm. This is a potluck dinner, so, bring a main dish, side dish, appetizer or dessert. Bring a bottle of wine and or beer to share on the front counter and if you want to, bring a bottle for your table to share too.
Special Note of Praise: Peter DeGray, carpenter extroidinare built 2 new award boards to display the club winners through the years. Thanks Peter!
January 22nd there was a Taste To Learn event featuring Shrah/Shiraz at Mary and Jerome’s. More Info…
Saturday, November 12th there was a Taste to Learn event at Tom and Claudia’s. It was a Holiday Ale tasting of 16 + beers made especially for the season. This was a very well attended event with great enthusiasm. It was a lot of fun trying so many beers all at one location. Sharing of attributes and personal palette perceptions was a delight for all. We must do a beer tasting like this next summer!
The next Taste To Learn event will be on Sunday, January 22nd, at 4:00. The featured wine is Syrah/Shiraz. The cost is $3 per person plus a bottle of Syrah/Shiraz. If you come as a couple then it is $6 and 2 bottles of Syrah/Shiraz. The $3 fee covers benchmark examples that will be provided by the hosts. The main dish will be barbequed pork ribs. Bring a potluck side dish or dessert to share. If you want to drink something other than Syrah for dinner than bring it for yourself. The event is at Mary and Jerome Robbins home. The e-board will be meeting at 2:30 if you are interested in attending.
