Hello Fellow LWGA members,
We are very excited and pleased to inform you about our upcoming April 7, 2019 meeting for the LWGA membership. We are following up on our annual survey and resulting schedule to provide you with useful information and discussions about wine growing and wine making. Our last meeting on January 27th, 2019 LWGA held its annual general meeting at the Hacienda De las Flores in the fire side room and adjacent meeting room. This was a very successful and informative panel meeting discussing viticulture practices and suggestions by a panel of experienced wine growers, managers and owners. Please refer to the link below for a recap if you were not there: https://lamorindawinegrowers.com/lwgas-january-27th-general-meeting-recap/
On April 7, 2019, we will be holding our next meeting at the Lafayette Library & Learning Center beginning @ 3 PM – 6 PM, where we will be asking you to participate by delivering a bottle of you AVA or non AVA wine that you have produced for a blind informal tasting by your peers. Drop off locations for your one bottle per category of your entry wine will be at: (you can enter as many as you like)
Daniel Howsepian’s home; 3345 Hermosa Way; Lafayette
Bill Scanlin’s home; 6 Lois Lane, Lafayette
Bill English’s home; 81 Meadow View Road, Orinda
You will find a cooler at the front door labeled “LWGA” to deposit your entries. Make sure you have your name; wine varietal and source location and year attached. No $ 5.00 per entry fee requested this year. We will take good care of your wine until the event.
or, if you must, but discouraged, since it takes time to organize, you can bring your entries early to the venue on April 7th.
We will be handing out voting forms and collected that day, which will be asking for your favorite choice, second and third choice to be tallied and announced at the end of the meeting.
Winners will be asked in future meetings to address the LWGA membership about your wines, methods and procedures about your grape growing and wine making practices that made you a winner. Should be very informative for the rest of us.
Please review the attached 2019 schedule of events so that you will not miss out on information that you might be interested in.
Look forward to your participation and seeing all of you again on April 7!
Please bring an appetizer to share.
