</div>
<div align="left">~ Adapting to Rising
Temperatures: As the climate grows
warmer, a number of growers and
winemakers are taking steps to protect
their grapes, combat the effects and
produce high-quality wines. This
session will provide verifiable
climate data-from variations of
weather patterns to timing and a
review of extreme events-as well as
what it means and methods to counter
the effects.</div>
<div align="left"><br>
</div>
<div align="left">~ Vineyard Focus:
Discovering the Winemaker's Hand in
Production: the influence of
individual winemaking techniques on
Pinot Noir grapes from the same
vineyard. <br>
</div>
<div align="left"><br>
</div>
<div align="left">~ Reshape Your
Vineyard/Winery for Optimal Quality
and Profitability: Innovation in the
vineyard and winery is no longer just
an option for large wineries. As input
costs are on the rise and labor
becomes scarce, automation is the
future. This session offers a
different approach to innovation,
diving into the affordable, small
steps any operation of any size can
take to make a vineyard and winery
more efficient, less labor dependent
and better able to deliver
higher-quality wines.</div>
