Wine School for the Perfect Wine

Posted on | September 2, 2010 | No Comments

Has anyone tasted a really good wine lately? If so, it may just have come from a Nebraska winery. Scan down the list of awards that Nebraska wines have won over the past few years and you will be impressed. According the Nebraska Winery & Grape Growers Association, there are now 21 wineries and ten additional tasting rooms located throughout Nebraska that offer unique flavors and unexpected sceneries. Download the Official Passport to the 2010 Nebraska Wine Tour and enter your name for prizes.

Oh the flip side, if you are interested in starting a winery or already have a winery, then consider going back to school…that is a wine making school sponsored by the Five Rivers Resource Conservation and Development. Small-Scale Commercial Wine Making School will be held October 22 & 23 and the Advanced Wine Making School II will be held November 5 & 6 in Nebraska City. Here’s your chance to learn more about making and perfecting wines. For workshop information, contact Five Rivers RC&D at 402.335.3347 or email bobbie.meints@rcdnet.net. The workshops feature viticulture experts who can provide great information to get your wines to award winning levels.

Oh, for future reference, I like the bold reds.

Until next time,
