Paolo Sabbatini, assistant professor in viticulture at Michigan State University, will address canopy and vineyard management and disease control at the 2008 Winery and Grape Growers fall conference. Of particular interest will be prevention of bunch rot problems, which have been a serious challenge in Nebraska vineyards this year, said Paul Read, professor of horticulture and viticulture.
The event will be held at the Holiday Inn downtown in Lincoln. To register go to http://agronomy.unl.edu/viticulture, or call (402) 472-8747. The cost is $69 for members of the Nebraska Winery and Grape Growers Association and $75 for non-members. Walk-in registration is $95.
An optional refresher course on wine evaluation and tasting is available along with the workshop. The three-hour workshop 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Oct. 31 will cover basic concepts and subtle nuances of evaluating wines. Participants will have the opportunity to taste several wines. The cost is $45.
