The October 2002 meeting of the
Seattle Chapter of the Enological
Society, was focused on the wines of the
Puget
Sound American Viticultural Area (PS AVA). The event is
co-sponsored by the
Puget Sound WineGrowers Association. This was a unique event as there was a table of amateur winemaker's wines available for tasting along with the real wineries. Of course these amateur wines must also be made entirely from grapes of the PS AVA. Perennial Vintners proudly presented our award winning 2000 Siegerrebe and 2001 Müller Thurgau wines.
This was a public event, 09-Oct-2002 at their usual meeting place at
St. Demitriou's Greek orthodox Church in Seattle. (Click thumbnail image for larger image.)

Hughes Vineyard is visible to my left, which is where the Siegerrebe
grapes were grown. (Photo credit: Sherrye
