SUMMARY:Long Island's Sustainable Viticulture Future: Evaluating Hybrid Wine Grapes
DESCRIPTION:Explore Long Island’s Hybrid winegrape potential: How advanced research is driving sustainable\, high-quality production in a unique climate.\nThursday\, December 5 · 9 – 9:30am EST \nJoin us as we explore the exciting potential of hybrid winegrape varieties on Long Island\, where innovative research is paving the way for sustainable\, high-quality wine production in our unique maritime climate. In 2023\, 12 hybrid winegrape varieties were evaluated at the Long Island Horticultural Research and Extension Center in Riverhead\, providing invaluable insights into their adaptability to sandy soils and the region’s specific climate challenges. \nWith vineyard establishment and management costs running high\, it is crucial to identify grape varieties that can thrive with fewer resources. Five bearing hybrids have already shown promise\, with an additional seven varieties planted in 2022 and 2023\, reflecting the New York Wine & Grape Foundation’s commitment to sustainable viticulture and climate resilience. Notably\, disease-resistant hybrids were successfully managed with significantly reduced pesticide use—an achievement that aligns with the growing demand for environmentally friendly products from both consumers and growers. \nTo demonstrate the wine quality potential of these hybrids\, fruit from select varieties was provided to local winemakers for small-lot production\, with results shared widely across the industry. This initiative is just the beginning\, as ongoing trials continue to assess resistance to diseases like downy mildew\, powdery mildew\, black rot\, and Phomopsis under varying conditions. \nAbout Our Speaker Alice Wise:\nAlice Wise is a viticulturist and educator with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County. She has been a pioneering force in Long Island’s wine industry since the 1990s\, specializing in vineyard management\, research\, and sustainability. Wise focuses on environmentally conscious practices and the development of hybrid winegrape varieties. Her work includes evaluating grapevine performance\, disease resistance\, and the impact of sustainable practices on wine quality. As a respected leader in the field\, she collaborates closely with local growers and winemakers\, contributing to the region’s reputation for innovative and sustainable viticulture. \n*This webinar is free to all New York Wine & Grape Foundation Member wineries and growers.\n\n\n\n\nPlease Register Here

SUMMARY:Managing Spotted Lanternfly in New York Vineyards with an Update on Sour Rot & Grape Berry Moth Research
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Greg Loeb will provide an update on his Spotted Lanternfly early detection research\, and his Sour Rot & Grape Berry Moth research.\nTuesday\, January 28\, 2025 · 8:30 – 9am EST \n\n\nThe invasive Spotted Lanternfly (SLF)\, originally from Asia\, is rapidly spreading across states from its initial invasion point in Pennsylvania. SLF has a strong association with the invasive Tree of Heaven (TOH)\, which serves as a preferred food source. Early detection of SLF in new areas often correlates with the presence of TOH. Join Dr. Greg Loeb as he discusses his latest research findings and how those findings are fueling a new collaboration with Dr. Sara Emery (Entomology) and Dr. Katie Gold (Plant Pathology Plant Microbe Biology) at Cornell which aims to use remote sensing to identify TOH near New York vineyards. If successful\, this could prove to be a more efficient method for mapping TOH and assessing the risk of SLF establishment. \nIn addition\, Dr. Loeb will also provide an update on his late-season damage from grape berry moth research as well as his work on sour rot. \n\n\n\n\nAbout Our Speaker Dr. Gregory Loeb:\nDr. Loeb has research and extension responsibilities for grape and small fruit crops. His research interests focus on how host plant traits and other environmental factors influence interactions between plants and their herbivores\, and herbivores and natural enemies with the specific applied goal of developing novel approaches to pest management. His more applied research program focuses on the ecology and integrated control of specific arthropod pests of grapes and small fruit crops. His extension program emphasizes educating growers on pest biology and management alternatives. He co-teaches a course on grape pest management every fall and advises graduate students and postdoctoral associates on insect ecology\, biological control and integrated pest management. \n*This webinar is free to all New York Wine & Grape Foundation Member wineries and growers.\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Attract New DTC Wine Buyers with a Smarter Sales Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 18\n 9:00 am EDT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirect-to-consumer (DTC) wine sales are under pressure. Wine clubs are seeing dwindling sign-ups\, younger generations are hesitant to commit\, and traditional promotional models are failing to engage today’s fragmented\, deal-savvy audience. In this webinar\, we’ll introduce digital collaborative buying as a fresh\, effective strategy for wineries to boost DTC performance. \nJoin us to learn: \n\nWhy wine club registrations are declining—and what Gen Z and Millennials want instead\nHow collaborative buying solves the “I want a deal\, but not a case”. “I can’t commit long term” etc. dilemmas\nReal-world examples of how collaborative sales are driving engagement and conversions\nHow wineries can implement collaborative buying without overhauling their operations\n\nIf you’re a winery seeking to revitalize your DTC channel\, attract new audiences\, and grow without discounting your brand\, this session is for you. \nAbout Our Presenter… \n\n\n\n\nWith over 20 years of international sales experience\, Moshé Weizman brings a wealth of expertise to WINEing. The son of two restauranteurs\, his passion for wine grew naturally\, leading him to become a Certified Sommelier with the Court of Master Sommeliers and a graduate of WSET Level 3 studies. Combining his love for wine with his professional experience\, Moshé co-foundedWINEing to create a platform that bridges his passion and entrepreneurial vision. \nRegister Here
