September 2003 Nanaimo Outreach Meeting and Visit to Chateau Wolf Winery
(With thanks to --Sherry Mussio-- for the Photographs)

1. Meeting Firehall
2. Ken Winchester on finer points of growing grapes; it is easy
...and .....Hmm.... do we really want to give them this wine as the best WIGA can grow?
3. John Brickett, the voice of experience, on why it actually can be difficult!

2. Photo of group attending Nanaimo outreach meeting.

"Don't worry about the instruments and measurements, taste the grapes to see when they are ready
for picking and whether they are going to make good wine!"
