Wines & Steins Credo
To foster home wine and beer making and to learn to appreciate the finer points of beer and wine making and the art of tasting.

 

WINE MAKING EQUIPMENT

One of the benefits of belonging to Wines & Steins is the opportunity to borrow Club equipment to make beer and wine. However, there is one major requirement. You must attend one of the beer or wine equipment seminars on the proper use and care of the equipment before you can borrow it. It makes no difference if you are already experienced. NOTE: This equipment is for the use of current dues paid members of Wines & Steins only!

The winemaking equipment is stored in Hank Grattan's barn (c/o Meadow Oaks farm), at 1845 Lupine Ln Templeton. Location is one block south of Wild Horse Winery which is on Templeton Dr.

Reservations of wine-making equipment may be made in advance (three days) by e-mailing guycallari@hotmail.com.   You may also call Guy at 423-3677 to inquire about the availability of the equipment.   All borrowed items are due back within 24 hours unless otherwise approved. "

ALL ITEMS MUST BE RETURNED ON TIME AND IN A CLEAN CONDITION AS A COURTESY TO THE NEXT USER.
