Message-ID: <AF803C30-FECC-4929-96F6-1783355F75C0@santewinery.com>

Hi All,

It looks like I have room for up to 10 tons of additional custom crush capacity at my Aromas facility for 2019.  While my specialties are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, I?m having some success making many other varietals for my current clients.  For anyone looking to start a new label, I have access to some great fruit for the 2019 vintage, as I am producing less for my Sante label in 2019 in order to focus on my custom crush clientele.

For more information, visit www.santewinery.com .  I can be reached via email at jb at santewinery.com or phone at 831.430.6924.

UC Davis is bringing its 'On the Road' program to Salinas on March 8.? 
The 'On the Road' program we had here last year in Santa Cruz was very 
valuable and you may want to consider attending this one, too. This is 
an opportunity to benefit from the research and expertise that UC Davis 
has to offer closer to home - without having to drive to Davis - and at 
a great bargain in terms of cost. On the program:

- Understanding how grapevine roots respond and recover, with Andrew 
Walker, Professor of V&E, UCD

- Precision viticulture, with Kaan Kurtural, UCCE Specialist in Viticulture

- Using plant material to promote early vine development, Larry Bettiga, 
Viticulture Farm Advisor, UCCE

- The effect of red blotch virus on wine quality, Anita Oberholster, 
UCCE Specialist, Enology

- Managing vector spread/virus diseases, with Neil McRoberts, Assoc. 
Professor of Plant Pathology, UCD


Cost to attend is only $40. Register in advance her 
<http://ucanr.edu/survey/survey.cfm?surveynumber=26522>e 
<http://ucanr.edu/survey/survey.cfm?surveynumber=26522> at 
http://ucanr.edu/survey/survey.cfm?surveynumber=26522 . These programs 
book up, so register early to secure a spot. See the attached agenda 
with more information.

Subject: VASCM: Santa Clara County Winery Community Outreach Meeting next
 week! - for Zoning Amendments
Message-ID: <CAE14FG0yQP_8_BHtL7J5T8uBy0UqjukEJgbydogyb55b4y8cxQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Everyone,

I just returned from a Community Outreach Meeting for Santa Clara County
Planning Commission.  They are quickly creating some Zoning Amendments
regarding Commercial uses in Rural Districts.  These would include
properties zoned for Agricultural, Rural Ranch (RR), Hillside (HS), etc.
zoned parcels. They are trying to make the rules more consistent across all
the uses and rural base zoning districts.

This seems to be on an accelerated timeline due to a proposed Religious
Institution project in San Jose.  The county planning department plans to
to create these new amendments in the next month, and push through
approvals in the April time-frame.

Why does this matter?  Although Santa Clara County enacted new winery
regulations a few years ago, there appears to have been some push back from
other institutions that feel that wineries may have gotten a better deal on
hosting events, etc.  The planning department has not decided on what
direction they will suggest (whether to let these regulations stand, or
adjust them to make them more "equitable" to other institutions).

At this meeting, they want to get input from the Winery Community:

*Winery Focused Community Outreach Meeting
<https://www.sccgov.org/sites/dpd/DocsForms/Documents/ZOAmendments_RuralResources_WineryOutreachMeeting_Notice.pdf>*
Wednesday, February 20, 2019
1:00 P.M.- 3:00 P.M.
Santa Clara County South County Office
80 W. Highland Avenue
San Martin, CA. 95046

I believe it is worthwhile to attend this meeting if you have or plan to
have a winery in Santa Clara County.

Regards,

Mark Porter

I am resending this email as VASCM has a new address.  Please note that the new address is: 

VASCM
PO Box 933
Soquel, CA  95073-0933

The Post Office in Soquel is open 24/7 and easier for your board members to access than the Santa Cruz PO is.  Please make the changes to your address books.  A forwarding mail document has been filed with the Santa Cruz location so that we shouldn?t miss any mail.

Thanks,

June
