Member Newsletter
In our never ending quest to keep you in the loop about all of your member benefits, special programs, seminars, pouring opportunities and our community involvement, we created (and mailed) our first printed Wine Road Newsletter.
This one recapped 2014, going forward expect to see a smaller version every 6 months (July and January). With this printed newsletter, our weekely notices and our monthly online recaps, everyone should be “in the loop”.

Back to the Future
We can’t have a March wrap-up without mentioning our 37th Annual Barrel Tasting Weekends. Always a heated, passionionate discussion, but with the same conclusion – this event makes money for the majoriety of participants. With your input, every year our Board of Directors implement changes to improve the event. This year saw 131 wineries participating – more than ever! Tickets sales were approx. 14,500. Survey results say conservatively $2,000,000 in wine was sold.
