IWP Ep95 The Viticultural Pavilion at the 1894 Midwinter Fair. Historical Episode Today we’re going to talk about the Viticultural Palace at the 1894 Midwinter Fair held in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Last year I did a series of episodes on the California Wine Association, and this episode could be the prequel to that series. My thesis here is that the fair was the last time in Pre Prohibition wine that everyone worked together peacefully. For the first decades of the California Wine Industry many were focussed on just making it work. Importing, recognizing and categorizing grapes, planting vineyards, learning how to make wine and learning how to sell that wine. Information was disseminated and the different groups worked together, more or less at least. There will always be some personality clashes but even then, everyone was pulling in the same direction. The Midwinter Fair would be the last hurrah though.
