We'll be there! It would be great to see 10-12 of our member wineries there pouring wine. We'll create "Destination Wine Road". Click to download the details for this event. There is a Rare & Reserve Tasting on Friday night and Grand Tasting on Saturday. Wine Road will also be coordinating two seminars for trade and press on Friday morning. One on Sparkling wine and ..one, to be determined, based on who is attending. Wine Road will reimburse $175 for any winery attending the festival.  Early bird price of $275 is only good until Oct. 15th.  Details and Registration HERE. Questions, contact the organizer, David Fraschetti

Not something you can ignore. But it is something you can address fairly easily. We worked with Amy Lieberbarb, but you may find someone else that can help. For our site and blogs, she used UserWay.org
Go to WineRoad.com and click on the blue handicap icon - explore what it does.
Download the Powerpoint she shared last week with our members. 
Feel free to email Amy with questions. Other folks that could help you with these updates (they have done several wineries already),  Rebecca Germoulus and Molly Fisher, they also both use UserWay.org.
