Join us to celebrate our hard earned and important AVA designation at the second annual Lamorinda AVA celebration, On Sunday April 29 @ 6 PM at the Lafayette Library Community Hall.
We’ve got plans for you that evening and we would like you and your guests to attend this fun night.
As a special feature of this celebration, we would like to invite all our members to submit bottles of wines they made from AVA or non AVA grapes for an informal tasting and judging by your peers. $5.00 per bottle to cover costs. This will be done between the hours of 4-5:30pm on April 29, 2018 as well. All members will have the opportunity to judge the wines – with each member who wants to be a judge committing to evaluate and rate each wine between 4pm and 5:30pm. The results will be tabulated and announced at a later date, and the winners will be asked to give a short presentation of how the wine was produced, from the vineyard management perspective; fermentation processes; to the bottling; at the next membership meetings. There will be several categories both for AVA and non-AVA wines, depending on the submittals received.
Then we will have a short General meeting for our members, status of our club; and letting you know of all the wonderful plans and activities we have for the membership for the coming year.
For example, we will be proposing to expand the regular meetings to bi-monthly meetings, every year, where we propose to have relevant and timely discussions and activities as well as discussions by the wine judging results, to help all become better grape growers and wine makers, so that the Lamorinda AVA brand will shine! Look for more info to follow.
For all of the founding members of the AVA, the beautiful AVA certificates with your names on them will be on display and available for distribution.
At 6 PM, the Lamorinda AVA celebration begins. $30.00 per person entry fee. There will be food, beverages, music and lots of mingling and talk about our upcoming wine growing season.
So please, save the date for a fun filled, informative, interactive gathering of the proud Lamorinda Wine Growers Association celebration of the Lamorinda AVA.
See you then!
