The class was Great! Just enough information and background to get me interested but not so much that I was impatient to start making wine! Perfect balance. I can't wait to taste the wine.

It was a great experience and I would do it again. Gail -

Throwing was a lot of fun. This was my first time. The weather was pretty bad so half the class showed up which was nice because we all got a lot of individual instruction; Liz was great! Wish this place was closer. I would definitely be a regular.
