To Members:  We’re getting a good response to the VVA-sponsored Bordeaux trip this coming winter, and I thank those of you who have already enrolled and sent your deposit. For the rest of you who may be interested, I know we’re all in the middle of harvest, but don’t forget that October 10th is a deadline for signing up for the trip to Bordeaux. 

Learn about the Grand Cru classification system, tread on streets and meet with entities that Thomas Jefferson visited, learn current academic research and practical applications of this world-class region that boasts 15,000 growers, most of whom farm less than 20 acres.

After October 10th, we will be opening this up to growers in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and North Carolina to fill any remaining seats.  It will become first come, first serve. Don’t delay if you’re interested in this exciting, informative opportunity.
