Road Trip to Avanguardia
The July meeting is getting closer. It will be at Avanguardia Winery, a little out in the country. This winery features Italian and other unique varieties, more often blended than not. Many of his wines will be new to you (unless you’ve visited before).

SWGGA May Meeting on May 19th
Hal Hanifl will be our Guest Speaker in May.
Hal is the new wine maker for Nevada City Winery, filling the shoes of Mark Foster who retired last year. Hal has a lot of experience making all types of wine, with stints in Austria, Washington State and in the Napa/ Sonoma area.
He has definite ideas on the varieties and the styles of wine that he plans to make, and we’re sure he will share his ideas with us.
Of course he plans to bring a few bottles along for a wine tasting that will be a springboard to talk about wine. Yes, it’s another meeting ‘all about wine’!
