Next VASCM Meeting:
Post Harvest Vineyard Maintenance, with a focus on Vine Nutrition
Plus: Salts Concentration in the Vineyard

Wednesday, November 30
2:00pm
at Falcon Hill Vineyard, Santa Cruz

Katarina Flores, Certified Crop Advisor and PCA with Simplot <www.simplot.com> in Salinas and Prudy Foxx, Foxx Viticulture will talk about post-harvest maintenance practices, with some new thoughts on vine nutrition and amendments. As well, Katarina will talk about salts concentration affecting vineyards, including: signs of salts concentration; how to determine whether your irrigation water is contributing salts; and how to solve the problem. Denis Hoey of Odonata Wines will introduce the topic. Denis sources Falcon Hill's Pinot Noir and has implemented a number of changes in the vineyard over the past few years. He and Jim Adkisson, grower and owner of Falcon Hill will show us around the vineyard.

Before joining Simplot Katarina worked for Vineyard Professional Services in Paso Robles, and in the vineyards at E&J Gallo.

Please come prepared for wet weather, as we will be out in the vineyard. In the event that rain makes it impractical to be outdoors, we will take cover. Please bring your own (folding) chair in case you want to use it. And also, please bring your own wineglass (although we will have extra) - and a bottle of wine to share.

Parking:  Parking is limited, so try to carpool if you can. Someone will be there to guide you to park, and watch for signs.

Thank you to Jim and Nancy Adkisson for hosting.

As usual, please bring a bottle of wine to share.

See you at the meeting.

Have a nice Thanksgiving. And be sure to RSVP for the Holiday Dinner at Sesnon House on Dec. 3. Dinner is prepared and served by the students of the Culinary Arts program at Cabrillo College.
