*Phil Crews is repeating his presentation (Live!) on The Chemistry of 
Smoke Taint for those who missed it last time. And for those who 
participated in December, this is so information-intensive that you 
might want to watch it again. Phil has updated and tweaked the 
presentation so there will be new information. /Note: Unfortunately, 
there is not a recording of the December presentation. We hope to make a 
recording of this presentation available, but due to complications there 
is no guarantee. So, be sure to watch it Live! on Thursday if you are 
interested in this topic./

*The Chemistry of Smoke Taint*
*- with Phil Crews, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Chemistry UCSC, 
and winemaker and proprietor, Pelican Ranch Winery
*

*Date: This Thursday, Jan. 7
*
*3:00-5:00pm*
*Location: Zoom *(see log-in details below)



Winemakers have many questions about the impact of smoke on this vintage 
and what to expect with the resulting wine. Phil Crews, PhD, is 
Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCSC, teaches courses on the 
chemistry of winemaking, and will share his expertise on this topic with 
a presentation on the Chemistry of Smoke Taint for winemakers. This will 
include an overview of the volatile phenols and address:

- how smoke interacts with fermentation

- what might be expected during and post fermentation, as the wine 
progresses and ages.

- what do the lab results really mean (how do you decipher the results, 
are all the volatile phenols equally important)?

- what actions can be taken at this point in time, if any, to mitigate 
possible smoke taint?

Bring your questions!

Has anyone found an alternative to Weed Slayer as an organic weedkiller?

We tested Suppress 2 years ago but it was ineffective.

With over 100 residential vineyards under management, we're very keen to
find something.

Thank you for any input.
Happy New Year,
David, Thayer & co

Good morning David,

I am in the process of organizing a Viticulture meeting about this very
subject and hoping to have it dialed in by the end of next week.  We are
looking into some new products on the market that may be a good substitute
but are not OMRI listed yet.  I will keep you informed about the meeting
and happy to discuss some of our current options over the phone in the
meantime.

Cheers,

Ken

The next VASCM meeting is on Weed Management with John Roncoroni, UCCE 
Weed Science Farm Advisor Emeritus

Friday, January 22
3:00pm
on Zoom


**John Roncoroni, **UCCE Weed Science Farm Advisor*, specializes in 
vineyard weed management and speaks to growers throughout Northern 
California. John will talk about all things weeds, including: 
identifying and targeting weeds; understanding the lifecycle and 
avoiding seed regeneration; organic herbicides; weed management options.

Also, it has been a great disappointment to many of us that WeedSlayer 
is being investigated by the CDFA. Specifically, the AgroGold component 
of the 2-part system came under investigation the end of last year when 
it was reported that non-organic ingredients were found (sp. glyphosate 
and diquot).? We will speak to this to the extent that we are able as 
results of the investigation have not yet been reported. And, John 
Roncoroni will talk about organic herbicide alternatives.

Hello, everyone:

Virtual Viticulture Academy is holding a Pruning Webinar today at 5pm 
Pacific Time for VVA members - and is offering a membership discount of 
$90 if you join by this Wednesday. Of course if you join today you can

members that you can still watch. See the details below about today's 
program and registration.

Also, for more pruning tips you can watch? a video on pruning on the 
VASCM YouTube channel here

Viticulture. This was from a vineyard tailgate we did a few years ago.

Note that VASCM has two YouTube channels. The other one is here 
<https://www.youtube.com/user/VASCM1> /(VASCM1/) and includes a couple 
of pruning videos from 11 years ago. Also at this site: grafting with 
David Gates, Ridge Vineyards; Vineyard Soil Health with Paul Anamosa, 
Ph.D., Vineyard Soil Technologies, and more.


*Virtual Viticulture Academy resources *(website here 
<https://www.virtualviticultureacademy.com/>):

The next VASCM meeting is on Weed Management with John Roncoroni, UCCE 
Weed Science Farm Advisor Emeritus

This Friday, January 22
3:00pm
on Zoom


**John Roncoroni, **UCCE Weed Science Farm Advisor*, specializes in 
vineyard weed management and speaks to growers throughout Northern 
California. John will talk about all things weeds, including: 
identifying and targeting weeds; understanding the lifecycle and 
avoiding seed regeneration; organic herbicides; weed management options.

Also, it has been a great disappointment to many of us that WeedSlayer 
is being investigated by the CDFA. Specifically, the AgroGold component 
of the 2-part system came under investigation the end of last year when 
it was reported that non-organic ingredients were found (sp. glyphosate 
and diquot).? We will speak to this to the extent that we are able as 
results of the investigation have not yet been reported. And, John 
Roncoroni will talk about organic herbicide alternatives.

Hi Nick,

We use a company called Top-Notch Grafting out of Kenwood.  They're
exceptional.  We have them come down to our region once a season in the
spring to graft over any of our clients' vineyards that are looking for a
change of varietal.  If you're interested, I'd be happy to coordinate with
you and have them head your way once they've wrapped things up with our
vines.

Best regards,
Cody

Hi All,

Happy New Year!  I hope you all are safe and well and that the vineyards are enjoying their winter rest.  

It is that time of year again.  Attached is VASCM?s 2021 Membership Form.  You can fill in, print, and mail with your check to the PO Box listed on the form.  

Although our social gathering have been non-existent the past 10+ months, thanks to Mary and Ken they have been able to bring timely resources to the group via Zoom meetings.  Hopefully you have been able to take advantage of the meetings.  I?m sure we are all looking forward to the day when we can have meetings safely in person.  Until then, be well, stay well, and have a productive growing season.

Thanks,

June Salsbury
Secretary, VASCM
