The 2022 Growing Forward Series kicks off with our first session focusing on disease. As bud break begins, one of the biggest concerns for grape growers is around grape powdery mildew (GPM). As the growing season progresses, another major concern is around the limited availability of irrigation water.
This session, led by Bryan Rahn, CPAg/SS, CCA and president of Coastal Viticultural Consultants, Inc. (CVC) will provide information and best practices on GPM and soil moisture monitoring that lead to more efficient GPM treatments and irrigation water use. The session will include vineyard managers from Silver Oak Winery and Trinchero Family Estates to share their experiences along with the results of implementing the programs presented.
| Session Panel: |
| Allison Bettis, Viticulturist / Silver Oak Winery Matt Frank, Senior Director of Vineyard Operations / Trinchero Family Estates Bryan Rahn, President of Coastal Viticultural Consultants, Inc. Dylan Rahn, Viticulturist/Vineyard Manager / CVC Ag Services Date: Thursday, March 31st **Register for this Complimentary Online Session Today** |

Hi! The Board is looking to create a stylized map of the Lamorinda AVA and are wondering if we have the talent within the membership to create the map. If this is you, please email me (Amy) at germinatekitchen@gmail.com
The style we’re looking for is illustrative rather than reality, like this

Thanks!
Amy
