Next meeting will be July 15, 2 PM at the Grillons’, bring your picnic seating, bathing suits and summer hats, an of course the kids. This is family picnic mode - please call me at XXXXX , so I can plan for the burgers and hot dogs. As usual, munchies are appreciated.
Planning ahead, August will be the national tasting (serious scoring) with this years selection Zinfandel (Pennee’s favorite)!
