Happy 4th of July CCHVA members! I trust you are all well and getting ready to bust out some home made wine to serve with your BBQ on Tuesday. We have a exciting newsletter for you this month talking about the wine competitions you entered, club events, and our Summer Picnic. Alas, the grape co-op order isn't ready yet but will probably hit your mail box by the end of July. Join in with our activities and Happy Winemaking. Fred View Newsletter
