Apple Tasting

From Rajesh

Dear Malus Domestica afficionados,

This is a reminder that the apple tasting is coming up. It is scheduled to happen coming Saturday, September 29, at Rajesh's house. Here is what you can expect:

  1. Many kinds of apples: Akane, Cortland, Gala, Honeycrisp, Macoun, two kinds of Mcintosh (ordinary and Red Max), Shamrock, and `Silken'. This last variety was supplied to me under secretive circumstances by the wonderful people at Cold Spring Orchards. I would tell you their name but I have been instructed specifically not to. I have also been told that if I return at an appointed time on Saturday, there may be more `Silken' apples to be had.
  2. Goods, baked and other, made from these apples. If you'd like to make something for the tasting, please let me know and I will get the apples of your choice (see above list) to you.
  3. Pinot Noirs from Oregon. Mostly from the Willamette Valley.
  4. Itinerant phonologists from all over New England.

Contributions in the form of a nice bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir or something made from apples would be most welcome. Otherwise you could contribute $6 (students)/$12 (faculty) towards the cause.

RSVPs would be greatly appreciated.

- Rajesh
