OIB Chapter - Member Survey Sept 2020
Your name is NOT required in this survey
*
Indicates required field
1) Some Background & AWS National Conference Nov 4-7 and your participation? See info, hover your cursor over circled icon to the right?
*
Yes, presentation portions only
Yes, presentations AND at least some tasting sessions
No, with my comments below
As you may be aware from recent chapter tastings, AWS National newsletter, or even the recent AWS National email, there will be an AWS NATIONAL Virtual Conference Nov 4-7. A free event to members except wine cost. This will involve the local Chapters coordination of wine cost & utilizing National’s “Small Bottle Program” for doing actual tastings during the virtual conference. The OIB Chapter has obtained the necessary quantities of 2oz empty glass bottles from National, for shipping cost only. Our OIB Chapter plan is to secure the wines involved in the planned conference and send out Chapter Evites & payment info like we currently do. The Board of Directors (BOD) has already identified some member volunteer’s to prepare the 2oz bottles just before the conference to preserve wine characteristics. There has also been BOD discussion (even a National video) on safely preparing & distributing bottles for enabling our OIB members to participate remotely. AWS National is making this a high priority & commitment for member benefit & participation. The BOD does understand the actual agenda/wineries are in process and being further defined this month. At this time, do you think you will participate in any portion of the virtual conference during Nov 4-7?
Please comment on any area of this conference effort:
*
2) Your Participation in the Last 4 Physical OIB Events at Silver Coast Winery / Do Something for More Comfort? See info?
*
Zero
One
Two
Three
Four
The OIB Chapter continues to schedule physical tasting events at Silver Coast Winery. The Chapter (and SCW) has been quite successful to date on attendance, protocols for distancing & being in the building, cleaning, etc. How many of these 4 events have you participated in (WS Top 100, Reustle, Wine Barrel Polka and National Tasting Program)? If you haven’t physically participated over the last 4 events is there something else the Chapter can do for you to feel comfortable in participating?
Please be as candid as possible with any type of comments/suggestions on your participation level:
*
3) Small Bottle Program Use at the OIB Chapter Level? See Info? Check any that would be of interest to you specifically for the OIB Chapter.
*
Yes, I/we will continue to participate in person at Silver Coast (especially since NC is Phase 2.5 right now)
Yes, an option to participate remote/virtual via Zoom of the “live” OIB tasting at Silver Coast
Yes, to have access to a recorded OIB tasting, made available to you by the Chapter to view when you want. The recorded portion would most likely be reduced to just contain time slices of each wine tasted (note; since small bottles used, you must view/taste within 2 days to preserve wine characteristics)
No, just make the slide presentation available to me on the website
No, I/we do not plan on physically participating in any wine event at all until the healthcare industry has a proven Covid vaccine
3) Since the OIB Chapter already has the small 2oz bottles, would you participate in any of the following Chapter driven approaches for ANY upcoming event, before Nov conference or even continuing after that? If remote, this involves distributing multiple bottles to you based on number of different wines during the OIB tasting (i.e. 6 wines, 6 small bottles). There are protocols & logistics to safely reuse the glass bottles to address that concern.
Comments on OIB Small Bottle Use:
*
4) For advance planning only, the Chapter BOD has discussed a full range of options in trying to do something for a Dec holiday “gathering”. Please check your level of interest on the following range of options?
*
Just not doing anything in Dec
Do another regular tasting event in Dec with a special holiday theme, most likely this would be very limited to OIB primary members only with no prepared food served (aka, wine provided but bring your own appetizers/snacks)
Or something larger only if NC goes from Phase 2.5 to 3
Please provide any comments/suggestions you have on Dec possibility, assuming the situation is the same Phase 2.5 like today:
