This will be my second year serving on the Science of Wine planning committee and first year co-chairing the Education subcommittee. My charge will be to help develop an appealing education component to what promises to be a fantastic weekend celebrating the best of 2011 Southern Oregon wines and local food, all while supporting the fantastic hands-on Science Works museum.
This years event takes place the weekend of May 3-5, 2012. The Education Night will feature three 2.5 hour classes to choose from.
Winetasting 101 - French Varietals, by Ron Stringfield and Cheryl Garvey
An introduction to Home Winemaking, TBA

The Gala features a 1920's Parisian theme (start shopping for your flapper dresses and baggy pants now!) and prepare to taste 28 of the best wines Southern Oregon has to offer. All participants were gold or silver medalists in the 2011 judged competition.
