<div align="left"><font
face="Helvetica, Arial,

awhile since we've had a
meeting, online or in
person. But we'd like to
start this new year with
renewed intent for a year
of some great viticulture
programs - starting with
this one with Fritz
Westover, Virtual
Viticulture Academy (VVA).
We've done a couple of
online programs with Fritz
as well as an in person
workshop over the past few
years. This program will
focus on preparing for the
upcoming vintage,
including a pruning
refresher. And, we were
going to talk about the
impact of drought, but
that's no longer an issue
for us at the moment, so
Fritz will address the
impact of heavy rains such
as we are having now. And
he will also talk about
adapting your practices
anticipating heat waves,
such as we experienced
last year, and in prior
years, at harvest time.
This program will be
packed with valuable
practical advice that you
can apply in your
vineyards. <i>There is no
charge for this program
(it is being covered by
the VASCM). </i><br>
