If you live within traveling distance of Winters, CA, the USDA National Clonal Germplasm Repository is having its Fig & Grape Tasting on Aug 29. Admission is limited so you have to register beforehand.
Please be on your *best* behavior. I have seen people be very greedy and sharp elbows on occasion and I would hate to publish this info and have someone I helped hip to it behave that way.
USDA NCGR is one of the best things our taxes pay for & you can taste it.
