The New York State Wine Grape Growers will be hosting a half day seminar on grape canopy management and grape vine trunk disease featuring Dr. Richard Smart, the "Flying Vine Doctor".
Dr. Smart has studied and lectured on grape growing all around the world, including in the Finger Lakes, where he did studies for his Doctorate under Dr. Nelson Shaulis at Cornell. His book, “Sunlight Into Wine”, has been heralded for many years as the ultimate guide to canopy management for optimum yield and wine quality, and has been used by growers worldwide to increase their bottom line.
A wine and cheese reception will be held after the seminar for all who attend. We ask those attending to bring along a favorite bottle of wine to share. Cheese and snacks will be provided, and Women for New York State Wine will provide their services for the reception.
The seminar will be free to members of New York State Wine Grape Growers and their employees.
The cost will be $30 each for non-member. Those who are not members are encouraged to join NYSWGG at a reduced half year rate of $40.
We ask that anyone planning to attend make reservations to nyswgg@gmail.com to ensure we have space for everyone.
