The Northern Grapes Project Webinar Series

“Emerging Cold Hardy Wine Grape Cultivars”

Mark Hart Tom Plocher

Tuesday, January 13th, 2015

12:00 Noon Eastern (11:00 am Central)

7:00 pm Eastern (6:00 pm Central)

Tom Plocher and Mark Hart, both veteran private breeders of cold-hardy grapes, are teaming up to bring you this webinar on grape varieties to consider in cold climate regions. Recently named varieties from the University of Minnesota have had a huge impact on the viability of commercial viticulture for northern grapes, but there alternatives form Elmer Swenson and other private breeders that can broaden the spectrum of wine types and growing regions for this industry. Tom and Mark will present a little background on the process used by grape breeders, followed by a review of the viticultural practices and enological potential of a number of new and lesser known grape varieties.
