Come and celebrate 50 years of the Lehigh Valley Chapter of the American Wine Society at the beautiful Bergeist Vineyard. Our hosts, Julie and Mick Hasson, accompanied by Don and Virginia Squair, will be sharing the history of the Lehigh Valley Chapter from the very beginning. They were all there at the very first tasting, and now here to celebrate the 50th Anniversary!
The theme of the tasting is a celebration of Lehigh Valley produced w August ines from 50 years ago to now. We will have two of the original Lehigh Valley wine makers, each having planted their original vines almost 50 years ago, telling their stories and sharing their wines: Elaine Pivinski, founder of Franklin Hill Vineyards, and Jan and John Landis, founders of Vynecrest. In addition, Darrin Scott, Dean and Bonnie’s son, and current wine maker at Folino, will be telling his story and sharing wines he has made from both the Folino Vineyards and also from the Bergeist Vineyard. I suspect Dean may also have a few stories to share!
Menu
The meal will be a barbecue buffet from Ktown Pub and includes beef brisket, pulled pork, sandwich rolls, apple coleslaw, baked beans, and BBQ sauces.
Dessert will be a 50th Anniversary cake!!!
Please bring 2 wine glasses and wine to share.
This tasting is limited to 60 people.
