January 25 in the Berger Center, the Vets Club will feature at least part of the family that owns local winery, Glen Lyon Vineyards & Winery. Squire Fridell – Vintner, Winemaker, Vineyard Manager, CEO, CFO, COO, EIEIO, WINO, & JANITOR, will give an informative if not entertaining presentation on everything you’d want to know about growing grapes, tending grapes, harvesting grapes, and ultimately drinking “grapes.” Well, grapes from the Sonoma Valley anyway. Oh! And Squire may even have a word or two about gophers. He’s literally become an expert.

Want to know more? You have to attend the presentation on Thursday January 25 at 4:00 p.m. Well, you can also “Hit” their website at: glenlyonwinery.com. They are just down the road in Glen Ellen. Family owned, you will be delighted with their story. Buying a little more than 25 acres here in Sonoma County thirty years ago, Squire and his wife Suzy packed-up their 3-year-old daughter Lexy, all their worldly goods, and traded the packed freeways of Southern California for the backroads and fertile grounds of the Sonoma Valley.

Please join us. Not only because we’re starting a new membership drive ($20 for the year), but you will enjoy the program as well as reacquainting yourself with some of the terrific Vets in our club.
