Make better wine! Yes, that’s one likely outcome of this ½ day classroom/hands-on combo event. Presentations include best practices in evaluating and purchasing barrels, storage, and maintenance; a comparison of fermentation in different vessels; an exploration of wood choices, and an introduction to what’s new in the world of barrel management.
