This year (2012), as usual, ASWA poured 24 different white wines and 24 different red wines all representing wines from the Atlantic Seaboard Wine Association 7th annual wine competition. The President of the ASWA, Carl G. Brandhorst, was assisted by Vice President David A. Barber and ASWA’s West Coast Representative, Ms. Anne Vercelli, of Healdsburg, CA in the pouring and in answering questions about the wines. This effort is an attempt to promote east coast wines as a quality producing area.
