SAN DIEGO AMATEUR WINEMAKING SOCIETY
March 2003
Well, for all you fine wine-drinkers out there, there should be a lot of good deals on French wine very soon… Charles Shaw Bordeaux for $1.99 perhaps?
TREASURY REPORT
The dues are still coming in. We have about $729.25 in the account currently.
BUSINESS
1. Financial Report by Steve Sgrosso.
2. Review/Correction of Membership List.
3. Drawing for Wine.
4. Because every one who had grape vines is involved in pruning in one stage
or another, today should be a good time to discuss different pruning techniques
and process from a new plant to a mature vine. We will also open the discussion
to wine making and try to answer any specific questions anyone may have about
bottling techniques, aging, storage and topping.
5. Website update.
New Business:
1. Location for May Meeting (The Bridges).
2. Agenda for next meeting.
3. Special Requests from members.

years Picnic.

ABOUT THE SOCIETY
The objectives of the San Diego Winemaking Society are to foster a general interest in wines and to give Society members a means of exchanging information on winemaking methods, materials and equipment. Regular meetings are held at noon on the third Saturday of odd numbered months. Meetings often consist of a short business session, a technical discussion or a speaker and wine tasting. A bulletin notification is mailed to Society members six times a year before each regular meeting, and information about SDAWS activities is available.
