Vernon W**ery and Grocery Outlet. Thank you to all who helped as clerks and "cellar rats" and to our Board. SEE COMMENTS BELOW FOR RESULTS! **ecompetition

🏅🍇Congratulations, Beechum Estate Vineyard! They supply the Cabernet Franc to Tim Harris of Full W**e Company for their "Just Jump" which was recently rated by W**e Enthusiast with a 93. The rating noted "This w**e is rich, supple, with deep Danson plum, ripe boysenberry, hoisin, dried floral, subtle oak, and sage brush on the nose; the flavors on the palate are juicy raspberry-blueberry, black peppercorn, clove, bittersweet chocolate, orange zest, and silky tannins to finish."

🍷 There’s a lot of w**emaking knowledge within PCWGA—and sometimes it gets published!
Congratulations to PCWGA Board Member Mike Orton, whose article, Precision W**emaking at Your Fingertips, is featured in W**eMaker Magazine.
Mike shares some of the knowledge gained from more than 30 years of w**emaking, along with nine free online tools he and his wife developed to take some of the guesswork (and math!) out of the cellar. Think SO₂ additions, Brix adjustments, nutrients, blending calculations and more.
This is one of the things we love about PCWGA: Our community includes growers and w**emakers with an incredible depth of experience—and a willingness to share what they’ve learned with others. Whether you're just getting started or have dozens of vintages behind you, there’s always something we can learn from each other.
👏 Congratulations, Mike—and thank you for sharing your expertise with the wider w**emaking community!

A w**emaker shares his free online w**emaking calculators and explains the principles behind them, along with when and how to use each.
