Preparing for Harvest

OCWS Winemakers’ Group presents an educational webinar showing you how to develop a “crush plan” for the upcoming harvest. Join Ed Reyes as he explains what you need to consider before jumping into making wine from grapes this fall. Ed will map out the steps involved throughout the winemaking process. Learn about any special treatment particular varietals may need. He will also share some of the tips and techniques learned from over 10 years of winemaking with the OCWS.
