Educating for Responsible
Wine Consumption

Since I have been a member of the Enological Society, my fishing buddy and I have had a major change in how we dine when we are on a fishing trip. In the past, when planning for a trip to Montana, Idaho or somewhere in Washington, we always used to just go to the store with no forethought about what we were going to eat, and pick up such gourmet delicacies as macaroni and cheese, chili in a can or beef stew in a can. We would pick up some beer and we each had our own favorite hard liquor. We would then take off on our trip and just wing it in terms of what we would eat and drink when it came to dinner. Sometimes we would splurge and actually put some wieners in the mac and cheese to make a special meal, which was washed down with beer. Life was simple then; we didn’t know any better. (more…)

Your board has been in the process of updating and improving the Enological Society’s website, www.wenwine.org. We have hired Matt Fields, from Leavenworth to be our consultant in the process for a very reasonable price. Board member Beth Stone is the primary contact for getting information on the website. It is our hope that the redesigned website can be a source of pride for our group and will put a great face on the organization for our members and for the possible new members it might attract.
