For most of us, the one thing we miss most this year is sharing our wine making adventures and wines with other wine makers.  No 2020 harvest dinner, no in-person meetings post-February but that doesn’t mean we still can’t have fun!

So, open that bottle of wine and relax at SHW’s October 21 meeting where you’ll get to check out some of the most interesting gadgets and innovations members’ have adapted for making wine in their home cellars.

If you have your gadgets and ideas to contribute, please contact Vice Prez Fayne Boyd-Katz at belacrab@yahoo.com.

To request a Zoom invitation to the meeting, please contact Gin Yang at membership@sachomewine.com.
