| ABOUT THE SPOKANE ENOLOGICAL SOCIETY (SES) The Spokane Enological Society is a non-profit (501(c)7 organization governed by an elected 18-member board of directors. The purpose of the society is to provide its members opportunities to gain further knowledge and appreciation of wine. Functions are social and recreational, centered on learning through tasting, comparing and evaluating wines. Being a not-for-profit organization allows us to obtain a special event license from the Washington Liquor and Cannabis Control Board. This allows us to buy wine at reduced special prices directly from Washington distributors or wineries and share that price with our members. BECOME A MEMBER OR RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP Membership benefits also include an on-line (or mailed) subscription to our monthly newsletter, the WineMinder, member discounts to all SES Tastings and special event dinners, a discount on the sampled Tasting wines after each Tasting, and invitation to “exclusive” tasting events at local wineries throughout the season. The cost to join the SES is $35 single, $55 family (2 ppl), which includes a 1-time $5.00 set-up fee that pays for your new member name badge and SES wine glass. The cost to renew your membership each year in June is $30 single, $50 family (2 ppl). Membership fees can be paid on-line via credit card or by mail to SES, P.O. Box 31404, Spokane, WA 99223.
