Our next meeting is set for Thursday, September 14, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. at Grape Expectations.
We will be measuring the effect that oak has in the wine making process.

You do not need to bring wine glasses for this event, as we will pre-pour all of the wines for you to compare. Because the wine will be pre-poured it is important to PLEASE RSVP so we have an accurate count of attendees. You can RSVP on our Facebook page, or email membership@elvvaws.org.
