LOWER LAKE >> The winery team at Six Sigma Ranch invites all to a morning of excitement and camaraderie at the ninth annual Pruning and Pastries event on Saturday, Feb. 25. Six Sigma invites attendees to get to know some of the people behind Lake County’s award-winning wines, and to come brush up on techniques for pruning that backyard vineyard.
The two-hour event will begin at 10 a.m. just inside the Six Sigma Ranch gate on Spruce Grove Road. First, the professional pruning competition will challenge top pruners, who will be judged based on speed and accuracy. The winners will be determined by judges Glenn McGourty, PhD, UC Davis, and Broc Zoller, PhD, The Pear Doctor. After the professional competition, attendees can participate in a hands-on demo of winter pruning techniques in preparation for the amateur pruning competition that follows. Prizes will be awarded.
Coffee and tea will be served, together with pastries presented by Woodland Community College advanced baking class.
Please dress for the weather. Space is limited — reserve a spot by calling (707) 994-4068 or email Patty@SixSigmaRanch.com. Rain cancels the event.
Six Sigma Ranch & Winery is located at 13372 Spruce Grove Road in Lower Lake.
