ASM Winery Trip Coming Up!

[James Rogers]

Hi Everyone!

Today I am pleased to release the details for our Fall Winery Tour.  If you are at all interested in microbiology, you are surely aware how vital microbes are to the creation of wines and beers of every kind.  This semester we will be traveling to Pearmund Cellars (pearmundcellars.com) to tour their facility and learn what really goes into making a bottle of wine.  All those who went last semester will tell you what a fantastic time they had.  Here are the specifics:

What: ASM Winery Tour - Pearmund Cellars
When: Friday, October 3rd
What time: 12:00PM (to approximately 3:00PM) - you might want to get some lunch beforehand
Where: Meet at the temporary parking in front of the George Mason statue

If you want to go, PLEASE let us know so we have an idea of how many are coming.  This can be done by emailing jrog...@gmu.edu with "ASM Winery Tour" in the subject line.  Let us know if you want to drive as we will be carpooling.

Note: Remember, you need to be 21 in order to drink or purchase any wine, but everyone is certainly welcome to come along.  There is a whole lot to see and learn.

Thanks,
Jimmy Rogers
