  • Each member attending the Orange County Wine Society Wine Auction (March 11) is eligible to attend and buy wine at this year’s PYOL. Attendance at the PYOL is open only for those members who attend the Wine Auction. What is the PYOL you ask? It stands for “Pick Your Own Lot”. For this event, we put all the wine that did not quite meet the standard to get into the Wine Auction on display, and sell it to you for $4 per bottle. This is a good opportunity to pick up some everyday wine at a very reasonable price.

    The price is $20 per member, which includes admission to both events. Due to the increased cost of the facility rental, expendable supplies, food, and sales taxes, it has become necessary to establish this new price.
