Cultivar Region: An NE 1020 Variety Trial Tasting
August 15, 2013The multistate NE 1020 project was designed to test the performance of interesting grape cultivars, both new and existing, at various sites across the US. Over the past two years, collaborative work between Cornell, Penn State, and the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station have resulted in a collection of wines produced from NE 1020 sites spanning the region. Join us for a guided sensory evaluation of these wines, which represent a range of cool-climate varieties, both hybrid and V. vinifera. Your participation and feedback will help guide future variety trial activities, and provide you with first-hand experience of varietal and regional expression in these cultivars. This day-long program is free, and will include short presentations by project scientists, a tour of Cornell's vineyard blocks, and lunch.
THIS EVENT IS FREE, BUT SPACE IS LIMITED AND REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!
