I hope you and your loved ones are well and staying safe.   We also like to thank all first responder, medical and healthcare workers, front-line employees and officers.

 

I like to update everyone on a few things: 

As you may have predicted, our April 23 meeting is postponed.  We will work to reschedule the Prayer Rock Vineyards presentation for another day.  

The Good News:

• Don't forget AWS Happy Hour with Meaghan Frank of Dr. Frank's  Thursday, April 30^th @ 7 PM.  
• https://zoom.us/j/8480018362  

 

• I like to also remind everyone that your favorite winery Make Wine With Us are available, don’t hesitate and pick up your wines.  Give them a call and they will be happy to accommodate.   If your local in this area, I can drop the case(s) off to you. 

• We have about 8 cases available of special Red Blend from the AWS barrel, let me know if you need Bordeaux style wine. This one is sure to metal at the next NJ and NY State Fair.  Get it now before they are gone.

Keep healthy and drink your wine.  Read more about it visit Wine Folly
