Welcome to SWGGA…
Our Next Meeting…
Check here regularly to get updates about coming meetings.
April Meeting is on the 15th at 7:00 PM ( and, yes, we’ll be Zooming again…)
April Evening Zoom With Chik Brennemen
We’re lucky to have Chik Brenneman speak to us as Chik is a busy guy. Retiring from UCD Teaching and Research Winery in 2019, he is now back with a small, start-up winery: the Baker Family Winery. At UCD, Chik was principle to getting the Research Winery designed, built and operating. The winery currently crushes about 100 tons. Imagine simultaneous fermentations with, say, different temperatures and/or yeasts, and/or extended maceration times.
