Hello all! <br>My name is Dylan Lidster, I am a wine enthusiast, growwiner and grape grower located just outside of Saskatoon. Brenda Thomsen, another<br>wine enthusiast, and myself are organizing a Saskatchewan Amateur Winemakers & Winegrowers Association. Within this group we will<br>be holding open competitions for amateur winemakers of all types - from grapes to fruits and beers. These competitions will be held at the Saskatchewan<br>Amateur Winemakers & Winegrowers Annual Meeting. The winners of each class will then have their wines entered into the National Amateur Winemakers of Canada Competition. The winners of the national and provincial competitions will take home some prize money and/or some winemaking supplies for their ‘Winning Wines.’ To gain knowledge and contacts we will also be starting a Saskatchewan Wine Growers discussion forum. This will be great for all growers of fruit who wish to gain information and express knowledge of growing temperamental fruit in the northern climate of Saskatchewan. Currently in Saskatchewan we grow over 25 varieties of grapes, cherries, blueberries, black currents, raspberries and plums and many other fruits and vegetables with intentions of amateur wine production. Sask Wine Growers has the intention of being a informal discussion group aimed at growing the Saskatchewan Fruit and Wine industry all the way from fruit to glass. If you are interested in taking part in the “Fruit Grower,” discussions please forward some information about yourself such as number of years growing fruit, types of fruit or vegetables, varietals and any other helpful information about yourself. Also include some contact information so I can send you a formal registration and newsletter.<br><br><br>As we are just starting! If you have received this and know someone in Saskatchewan who might not be on this list server but may be interested in joining could you please forward this information or their contact information to me and I can send it.<br><br>Thank you!<br>Dylan Lidster<br><br /><hr /> <a href='' target='_new'></a></body>
