PWS Members and wine enthusiasts

First, I hope this message finds you safe and healthy. These are certainly unusual times we are experiencing. Returning to normal is everyone’s desire. However, I suspect normal will be somewhat different, at least for some time.

As you can imagine our tasting schedule has been thrown into disarray because of Corona virus. When a clear path forward becomes evident we will resume our tastings while taking all the appropriate precautions for as long as necessary. Unfortunately, that clarity is lacking at the moment. It is our HOPE to be able to host the planned August Zinfandel tasting and will advise on details if this is, in fact, possible. In addition to our usual events we are exploring on line “virtual” events comprising an assortment of fun and educational topics.

PWS is also considering extending memberships in concert with our time of inactivity. More information on this will be available once we know when we can resume tastings. We hope many of you that have not renewed your membership will remain with us going forward.

In the meantime, I ask you to share with us your survival techniques during the Corona virus quarantine from a wine perspective. This should be a brief, practical, helpful, creative or entertaining statement of how you are coping. Photos are encouraged. Plans are to post them on our social media sites for others to enjoy. Forward your compositions and photos to Kimberly Hawkins at hawkinspawinesociety@gmail.com

Stay healthy and drink well,

Dave Williams
