If you’re interested in learning how grapes becomes wine.... join us and be part of the learning process of wine making from beginning to end.   The American Wine Society is fortunate to be able to experience and learn from it.  The steps include; choosing the grapes, wine crushing, wine pressing, wine racking, and finally bottling their very own special vintage of homemade wine complete with their personalized wine label.   
This harvest there are only 2 barrels.  The group majority were on choosing the following grapes:  

 # 1 -Old Vine Zinfandel   
 # 2 -Petite Sarah  

Both of these varietals will be aged in French Oak barrels which helps it adds a velvet soft taste to the varietals' character.    

Notes: According to the Wine Institute Organization of California. The 2015 year forecast assures California vintners and grape growers across the state will have another stellar vintage. Despite a lighter crop—compared to last year.    These particular grapes come from the Lodi Region of California and current conditions for this years' crop is slated to be high quality fruit.

- As before, I will hand out claim tickets for your case.  
- Funds are due by end of October.  
- I will send out an email to interested individuals when the grapes are scheduled to come in for crushing. 
- This year we will not need to stomp on the grapes  :-)

Please send me an email if you have questions. 
Thanks again 

AWS Team.
