IEEC Goes to Korbel Winery Recap
The IEEC spent a lovely day at Korbel winery learning all about their wine and bubbly techniques! Touring the facilities with a glass in hand, the club learned about a unique machine used to periodically shift the wine bottles in order for the yeast to settle into the neck. The sun was shining, and the overall experience was a refreshing start to the beautiful spring weather. Don’t miss out on other excursions and unforgettable experiences by periodically checking the GEO & IEEC Upcoming Events Page!. Cheers!
