2007 www.WinePress.US WineFest - August 2007 - Meet Me in St. Louis

Hello all,

I wanted to invite you to the 2007 WinePress.US WineFest, as I do every year to further educate people on winemaking and grape growing. As you may remember, I own

which is the largest grape growing / winemaking discussion forum on the entire Internet. WinePress.US gets over 6 million hits each month and has over 4,400 members worldwide on five continents. Each year, I put on a 2 ½ day event of seminars, wine competition, wine exchange, winery / vineyard tour and more. This event will be held August 23, 24 &

25th, just outside the shadows of the Gateway Arch in the Metro east area. Hotel and winery to be named later.

This is a great opportunity to meet some of the top people in the industry. Some of the past prestenters have been: Jack Keller, Tim Vandergrift of Winexpert, Dinesh Nair of RJ Spagnols, Frank Raposo of Heron Bay, Anthony Tudesco of Buon Vino, Rich Theiner of Logic and so on. Meet the people that make the products that you use in your home winemaking or small wineries.

There will be attendees from all over the US, Canada and as far away as West Yorkshire, England. I hope to have a Thursday evening get together cocktail party, followed by a trip to a nearby winery on Friday morning to have the seminars at the winery. On Saturday, I hope to have the seminars, wine competition at a hotel conference space. Lunch and dinners will be included.

The attendees will be home winemakers and small wineries. You can learn more about the past two winefests at

One was held in Denver, CO and the other was held in Baltimore, MD. Each of the past events had well over 100 attendance prizes, as well as handout samples for attendees.

Please keep in mind, I don't sell anything to compete with you. I have created an environment (the forum) for wine makers and grape growers to share knowledge and to be able to reach out to manufacturers and suppliers (the professionals in the industry) to dispel myths and help them make wines that will make them proud, and to encourage them to make more wine. If you haven't already, I also encourage you to register for free as a member of the forum.

Thanks for your time, and best wishes to you and your cellar, Joel
