SUMMARY:February Winemakers Quarterly Meeting\, Potluck\, SO2 Testing
DESCRIPTION:Signups are now open on the OCWS website for the next Winemakers Group quarterly meeting and potluck.  It will be held on Saturday\, February 25\, 1:00pm to 5:00pm.  We will also have a short meeting to review our programs for the year and announce upcoming events.  Cost to attend is $5 per person to cover supplies.  All OCWS members are welcome\, you don’t need to be a winemaker to attend. \nThe La Habra-area meeting location will be announced approximately 1 week prior to the event.  Due to limited parking at the host site\, attendees are asked to carpool.  There is a nearby park with ample parking where people can meet up and carpool.  Parking details will be provided when the meeting location is announced. \nEach attendee\, or couple\, is asked to bring a potluck dish (appetizer\, salad\, side dish\, or dessert) ready to serve a small portion to 8 people.  Please bring any serving utensils necessary for your dish and a bottle of wine per person (homemade or commercial) to share.  Plates\, napkins and tableware will be furnished.  New winemakers\, this is an excellent opportunity to see what our group is all about and sample some of the great wines we produce. \nWinemakers\, did you get grapes last Autumn or are you processing wines from earlier vintages?  Make sure they stay protected from wine-damaging organisms.  Our SO2 testing team led by Mike Paz will be conducting tests for your wines from 10:00am to noon on the same day and location prior to the potluck meeting.  This continues to be a very important service we do for the group as winemakers need to know how much sulfite to periodically add to the wines for protection against unwanted bacteria and yeast. \nTesting fee is $5 per sample.  Bring a 100ml sample of each wine\, enough to test twice in case the test needs to be repeated.  Please email Mike by February 17th at Michael.winemaker@icloud.com with the number of tests needed and the types of varietals to be tested.  It is important that we know ahead of time how many tests will be done so we can purchase enough supplies prior and have them on hand. \nWe will need some volunteers to help set up prior to and help clean up after the event.  We will also need someone to help with parking control/direction prior to the meeting.  Contact Ed Reyes ed@ocws.org if you can help. \nRemember\, attendance at this event is limited so sign up now!

SUMMARY:Introductory Class Ideal for Aspiring Winemakers - Kit Winemaking Class
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve ever wanted to learn to make wine\, here’s your chance.  John Lane from our Winemakers Group will be conducting a Kit Winemaking Class on Saturday\, June 17\, at the OC Fair and Event Center.  This is a great introductory class for learning how to make wine. \nA wine kit contains most everything you need to make a batch of wine: grape concentrate\, additives\, oak\, basic equipment and instructions. It’s like following a recipe and having all the ingredients\, only you’ll make wine instead of a meal. A kit can produce two to three cases of wine\, ready to enjoy in about two months. \nSince our first kit winemaking class 10 years ago\, approximately 175 OCWS members have taken part.  Over half of our new winemakers started from these introductory classes. Using kits\, many members have produced medal-winning wines at the OC Fair Home Wine Competition. Kits are a great springboard to making wine from grapes. \nAt this class you will learn kit selection\, equipment needed\, space requirements\, step-by-step kit instructions\, monitoring your wine throughout the process\, racking/clarifying\, storage/aging and bottling. \nJohn will demonstrate the process using two separate kits\, a Chardonnay to begin to class and a Chilean Malbec to finish. At the end of the class\, participants will bottle the Malbec and get to take it home. \nCost to attend is $25 and attendance is extremely limited. The class will last roughly four hours. There will be a short break with light snacks served. Sign up now on the OCWS website to attend. Who knows\, maybe next year you’ll be entering your wines in the 2024 OC Fair Home Wine Competition. \n—Ed Reyes\, ed@ocws.org

SUMMARY:Sign Ups Coming for Quarterly Meeting Potluck
DESCRIPTION:The next Winemakers Group quarterly meeting will be on Saturday\, July 8.  Signups will open on the OCWS website in early June.  The beach-area meeting location will be announced approximately two weeks prior to the event. Cost to attend is $5 per person to cover supplies. All OCWS members are welcome to attend. \nAs usual\, this is a potluck event. Attendees are asked to bring a potluck item to share and a bottle of wine per person (commercial or homemade). I’m sure some of the award-winning wines from the Home Wine Competition will be there to taste. For non-winemakers\, this is an excellent opportunity to see what our group is all about and sample some of the great wines we produce. \nWinemakers\, our testing team will be providing SO2 testing for your wines. Watch for an email with more details as the date approaches.

SUMMARY:Fruit Winemaking Class
DESCRIPTION:Summer is the time for delicious fruit from backyard trees.  But they often produce more than you can eat.  Did you know you can make wine from all those delicious peaches\, plums\, nectarines\, apricots\, figs\, and more?  Fruit can be made into dry or sweet wines\, just like grapes.  The Winemakers Group will show you how as we continue to bring you educational opportunities to learn or hone those winemaking skills. \nOCWS winemaker\, Don Phillips\, will be conducting a fruit winemaking class Saturday\, August 19\, at his home in La Habra Heights.  Don has numerous fruit trees on his property and has been making fruit wines for years.  His fruit winemaking journey began when he wanted to do something with all his extra backyard fruit. \nDon’t have a fruit tree?  You probably know a few neighbors or friends who do.  Store-bought fruit works too but generally it’s not as ripe and flavorful as what you’d get from a backyard tree.  Whatever the source\, you’d want to make wine with only fruit that’s good enough to eat.  Save ripened fruit by freezing it. \nMaking wine from fruit is similar to making wine from grapes but the turnaround is much faster.  With most fruit wines\, you can make a batch in only 3-4 months. \nThe fruit winemaking class will last roughly 4 hours.  There will be a short break with light snacks served.  Cost to attend is $25.  Sign up now on the OCWS website.  So\, start saving that fruit now and you’ll be ready to make wine when you attend the class. \nThe annual OC Fair Homewine Competition always features numerous fruit wine entries.  Yours could be in next year’s competition. \nEd Reyes\ned@ocws.org

DESCRIPTION:If you’ve ever wanted to learn winemaking\, here’s your chance.  John Lane from our Winemakers Group will be conducting a Kit Winemaking Class on Saturday\, June 29 at the OC Fair and Event Center.  This is a great beginner’s class.  All Wine Society members are welcome to attend. \nA wine kit contains most everything you need to make a batch of wine: grape concentrate\, additives\, oak\, basic equipment and instructions.  It’s like following a recipe and having all the ingredients\, only you’ll make wine instead of a meal.  A kit can produce 2-3 cases of wine\, ready to enjoy in about two months.  It’s a fun and easy way to get started.  You only need an area about the size of a coat closet to make it happen. \nFor aspiring winemakers\, this class will teach you the basic skills you’ll need to make wine.  Kits are a great springboard to making wine from grapes.  Not sure if winemaking is for you?  This class will give you an understanding of the winemaking process to better appreciate what it takes to produce a glass of wine. \nSince our first kit winemaking class over ten years ago\, approximately 200 OCWS members have taken part.  Over half of our new winemakers started from these introductory classes.  Using kits\, many members have produced medal winning wines at the OC Fair Home Wine Competition. \nIn this class you will learn: kit selection\, equipment needed\, space requirements\, step-by-step kit instructions\, monitoring your wine throughout the process\, racking/clarifying\, storage/aging\, bottling.  This is a “hands-on” class.  John will take you through the process using two separate kits.  You’ll start a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc wine kit in the first half of the class.  In the second half\, you’ll finish and bottle a French Bordeaux-style wine\, which you’ll get to take home. \nCost to attend is $25 and attendance is extremely limited.  The class will last roughly 4 hours.  Coffee and breakfast muffins will be served before the class.  We will have a lunch break around the halfway point.  Lunch will be catered by Bill Forsch from our Winemakers Group who will be serving his homemade sausage sandwiches.   Wines from our Winemakers Group will be served with lunch. \nDon’t miss this educational opportunity!  Sign up now on the OCWS website to attend.  Who knows\, maybe next year you’ll be entering your wines in the 2025 OC Fair Home Wine Competition. \nEd Reyes\ned@ocws.org

SUMMARY:Citrus Winemaking Class
DESCRIPTION:OCWS President Carolyn Christian needs your help. She has nearly a dozen backyard citrus trees that are bursting with fruit. You can help take it off her hands and learn to make wine at the same time. The Winemakers Group will show you how. \nWe will be conducting a citrus winemaking class Saturday\, April 5\, at Carolyn’s home in La Habra Heights. You will get to pick and juice oranges. OCWS winemaker Kevin Donnelly will teach you how to turn that citrus juice into wine. We will provide the yeast\, additives and instructions for you to take home\, along with your fresh juice\, where you will complete the winemaking process. You will also get a list of winemaking mentors to contact in case of questions. \nKevin has been making wine from grapes and a variety of other fruit for many years. His citrus wines have earned numerous awards at the OC Fair Home Wine Competition\, including several Double Gold awards last year. \nMaking wine from fruit is similar to making wine from grapes but the turnaround is much faster. With most fruit wines\, you can make a batch in only a few months. This is a great way for experienced winemakers to hone their skills. For a new winemaker\, it’s a great way to get some experience before making the jump to grapes. Plus\, the equipment needed to make wine from citrus is the same as that needed to make wine from grapes. \nThe citrus picking and winemaking class will last roughly five hours. There will be a short break with snacks served. Cost to attend and participate is $32. Participants will get the citrus juice\, yeast\, additives and instructions to take home and turn that juice into wine. For an extra $17\, participants may also bring a plus one (spouse or friend) who can attend and enjoy the day. I’m sure Kevin will bring some of his award-winning citrus wines for all to enjoy. \nDetailed event instructions\, location and parking information will be sent to attendees approximately one week prior to the event. Right after you sign up you will get information describing the equipment you will need to have ready at home to complete the winemaking process. \nFirst-time winemakers\, be prepared to spend around $140\, beyond the class cost\, for equipment and bottles. You will finish with about 25 bottles of citrus wine. The equipment can be used for future batches of citrus and grape wine\, making them much cheaper to produce. \nSign up now on the OCWS website. The annual OC Fair Home Wine Competition always features numerous fruit wine entries. Yours could be in an upcoming competition. \n—Ed Reyes\, ed@OCWS.org
