Annual Meeting Shaping Up
Annual Meeting Shaping Up. I'm Greg Martin with today's Fruit Grower Report.
It's not until February but the Washington Association of Wine Grape Growers Annual Meeting, Convention, and Trade Show in Kennewick is really starting to take shape. Vicky Scharlau, executive director of WAWGG talk about some of the programs being planned.
SCHARLAU: We've actually spent every month since March with a group of industry members planning the sessions and letting the most important sessions really bubble up to the top. For this years convention we'll have a session that includes a tasting that will be about Cabernet Sauvignon clones. Again, we'll have a tasting room training session. We also have a help wanted session which is primarily for students that are seniors in high school but also those freshmen through seniors in college that are either looking for internships or they might be looking a job soon.
This years convention will once again be held at the Three Rivers Convention Center in Kennewick but the complete floor plan will be different than it ever has been. Scharlau says there will be two different sessions on water.
SCHARLAU: One is a water symposium that we have - part one will be for viticulture, part two will be for wineries. We also have the industry view of managing standard pests and an update on new pests. We have session on white wine fining. This is a class that will be for those white wine makers or wine makers in general that really focus on the white wine varietals.
More sessions are being planned and it should be another great show.
