Gold Arrow to View More

The inspiration behind SIP events was, at first, to provide wine aficionados a platform and forum to gather for virtual wine-tasting parties while sheltering in place.

Today, years later, SIP virtual wine tasting & education events offer so much more than virtual wine tasting alone.

The community of “sipsters” that has developed is one in which exclusive wine-industry insiders and oenophiles gather to discuss everything viniculture-related and learn from each other.

What is "Vine Grafting" and Why is it Done

Renowned Winemaker Nick Goldschmidt of Goldschmidt Vineyards joins live to educate us about vine grafting. Vine grafting is the process of joining tissues of two different grape vine plants together so they continue to grow as one plant. This is a practice in place since Roman times but became vitally important, and much more popular in the 19th century. We'll learn why.

Partner Bettina Sichel from Laurel Glen Vineyard returns to SIP and this time we'll discuss wine bottle closures. Do all bottles need the traditional cork, or is screw-cap sometimes a better option? We'll discuss factors like aging potential, convenience and find out why after three decades of focusing on Cabernet Sauvignon, Laurel Glen decided to make white wine.
