Our millennial Festival, in Niagara, is now only a few weeks away. We include here your LAST CHANCE to register, if you have not already done so, along with a list of seminars. Unfortunately, if you are in the category of late registrants, the “early-bird” Registration Fees are no longer available, but it’s still a bargain weekend. Werner Roesener joins us with an article on alcohol measurement; Tom Ostler reports on a Pinot Noir tasting, and we include an article on Sherry.

Readily-available garden fruits such as rhubarb, gooseberries and elderberries, as well as the berry fruits such as strawberry, can provide an interesting change to grape wines; and soon it will be possible to harvest those dandelions to produce - if properly made - a very attractive Sauternes-type wine (see inside). So crack those old books, and let’s spread our wings a bit!
