Ever wonder what’s causing that funk in your wine?

Come to the April 20 meeting when Matt DiVisconte, manager of Lodi Wine Labs discussed Organoleptic Compounds of Wine.   Your senses will be heightened with the wines Matt’s bringing for us to taste and discuss, and help you identify what’s causing your wines to taste a little off.

Cellar Master Henry will be in Turn Verein’s back parking lot to accept your Jubilee wine entries from 6-7pm.

Did you know that Club wine glasses are for guests and for your use in the rare event something happens to your wine glasses en route to the meeting?  Someone has to take home the cases of used glasses to wash after each meeting, so thanks for helping by bringing your own wine glasses and for this meeting, please bring two.

Your help before and after the meetings is appreciate.  Thanks for enjoying responsibly.

2016 SHW – Jubilee Picnic –  NOTE The time will be later as no one came early last year… See below!!

The 2016 SHW Jubilee Wine Competition is Saturday, May 14, 2016, so the Jubilee Picnic will be Sunday, May 15, 2016.

Mark your calendars. The Picnic location will be Judy Pinegar’s Back Yard and Barn as in past years. The actual picnic/BBQ will begin at 1 PM with the main course planned for about 2:30 PM.

Please lend a hand with clean up??… call Judy at 916-224-6742.

The club will provide BBQ meat, Chili Beans, French bread, and lots of water. All wines from the competition will be available for tasting, including the Golds and Best of Shows.

Please bring a dish to share at the potluck: appetizer, salad, entree, or dessert according to the following list based of your last name (first initial):

A – G = Desserts

H –O = Salads or Sides (please large dishes – note no chili beans!)

P– Y = Appetizers

Remember to bring your wine glasses.
For those of you who are new to the event, Judy’s place has 2 ½ acres with room to explore nature in the summer. Some of Judy’s lawn chairs are available, but club members should bring their own lawn chairs, blankets, or whatever if they want to be sure to have a place to sit on the lawn under the trees. The swimming pool also will be open, so bring your suit, hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses (if it is warm enough!). The event is great fun, lawn games will be available, and the party sometimes goes until dark… so plan on making a day of it! Children and guests are welcome!
