The March 9 wine tasting will also be the annual Palouse Chapter meeting and the opportunity to select new members to the Board of Directors.

It is a time to say thank you to three retiring Board Members all of whom have been on the board for many years. President Pat Carter, Secretary Bill Wykoff and Member-at-large Nick Sanyal have contributed many hours of serious wine tasting at Board Meeting, many evenings of incredible sacrifice testing recipes at the trial runs for the annual dinners, and many arduous winemaker dinners featuring incredible food. It's a hard job, but one with immense rewards.
