Still Time to Register for This Week's Winery Workshop

There is still time to register for a workshop on wineries set for this week.

Here is the info from Cornell University:

Aug. 22 and 23, the workshop is an opportunity to learn about key aspects of managing the grape-growing and winemaking processes.

Attendees will learn about the decisions that need to be made in preparation for planing or starting a winery, and also once production has begun.  The workshop will include a tour of a vineyard and winery.

Hans Walter-Peterson and Mike Colizzi of the Finger Lakes Grape Program will cover topics including site preparation, appropriate varieties for this region, canopy management and pest/ fungus control.  The winery day will look at winemaking, analysis, equipment and more.

Anna Katharine Mansfield and Chris Gerling of Cornell's extension enology lab will be joined by enology lecturer Patricia Howe to cover the wine topics.  Sam Filler from the Empire State Development agency's "one stop shop" for wine beer and spirits will also be giving a presentation and answering questions related to licensing and other legal aspects of starting a winery.

Questions: Gemma Osborne 315-787-2248 or gro2@cornell.edu
