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.
