It’s time for the annual National Tasting Project (NTP).  This year the NTP features Wines of Portugal. The event will be held and Amy & Dan’s home.

This will be a “blind tasting.” Attendees are asked to focus on rating the wines and to use the UC Davis aroma wheel to help objectively fill in the AWS scoring sheet .  Results will be tabulated and sent to the national office and you’ll see the results at our November meeting.

The NTP is the largest group tasting of its kind, encompassing more than 140 chapters and 5000+ members across the U.S.  Each year the NTP committee chooses a theme and selects several wines that show different styles within the theme.  Chapters hold tastings to sample the wines and then see how their ratings compare to other AWS chapters.

The NTP is especially important to the AWS as it establishes our society as an opinion leader and wine authority, and a number of wine makers and industry professionals use the results to promote their products.  So it is with deep appreciation that the national organization thanks us for participating.

There are 18 spaces available for this event and the cost will be $16 per person. As always bring a few extra $1s in case we have any last minute cancellations.

Please bring an appetizer.  We have quite a variety of wines, so the sky is the limit for appetizers.
