- This March Madness will showcase club member wines – both homemade member wines and alumni commercial wines, PLUS some other commercial wines of our vineyard sources. The objective is to provide potential new club members exposure to “what are wines of BEWBC members & alumni pros like?” Please consider bringing a guest that is an eligible and interested potential member.
- You are encouraged to bring and enter a wine – one of your homemade wines OR a commercial wine of a club vineyard or alumni, or as an alternative ANY commercial wine of your choosing.
- In the tournament, homemade wines will be tasted blind & judged along with commercial wines – there will be a prize (and more importantly, fun “boasting rights”) for bringing the winner “1st place homemade wine” and “1st place commercial wine”
No fee if you bring a wine, $10/person fee for those without a wine. For planning the tournament brackets

BEWBC Grape Ordering to Begin on March 1st - HEADS UP!!
This is a heads up that grape ordering via the club website (https://bewbc.org/) will begin MARCH 1ST.
Grape ordering "Open Enrollment" will go from March 1st thru March 20th. Open Enrollment (OE) is a time period where all orders are given equal priority access to the available allocation and equality priority if there are shortages at harvest time. Orders can still be placed after OE, but are fulfilled on an "as available" basis after OE orders and also will be given lower priority (i.e. order will be reduced or cut before OE orders) if there are shortages at harvest time.
Primary benefits of ordering during OE:
- Ensure that you get the grapes you want.
- It is EXTREMELY helpful towards our business with the vineyards - the sooner they know what we will purchase from them, the better standing we are with the vineyard.
Other reminders:
- Renew your membership!
- Check out the grape offerings in Members section of the website.
- Check again when the start of OE is officially announced - THERE WILL BE 1 OR 2 NEW OFFERINGS
Finally: ALL ORDERS ARE A COMMITMENT - if even your circumstances change at harvest time. This is the way it works with the vineyards' commercial customers (including legal contracts), this must be the way it works with us if we expect these vineyards to sell to us.

WHAT:
- Malbec has long history as one of the original Bordeaux blend varietals, as well as a single varietal wine in France, such as in the Cahors appellation.
- In the New World, Malbec has become best known for being THE grape of Argentina.
- Malbec has now established itself in the US, doing particularly well in our Washington state, including vineyards with Malbec available to us as club sources.
