Purdue Wine Grape Team Newsletter

Dear Indiana Winemakers,
  
We invite you to attend our Fall Workshop on Thursday, September 24 at Purdue University.  This year's Fall Workshop is designed for commercial growers and winemakers, and will provide an update on best harvest practices in the vineyard and winery.  We will discuss topics ranging from post-harvest vineyard management to yeast nutrition and acidity adjustments, as well as wine trail marketing strategies.  Participants will visit the team's pilot winery to discuss winemaking equipment, our enology lab to review juice and wine analyses, and tour the Purdue research vineyard.  You should plan to arrive at the Purdue Meigs Farm at 9:00am EST for registration, coffee and donuts.  A shuttle bus will provide round-trip transportation from Meigs to the West Lafayette Purdue campus.  Lunch will be provided.  Dress casual and bring a bottle of wine to share.  Pre-registration is required.  Hope to see you there!

Enjoy this Labor Day weekend!
 
Cheers,
Jill
