Abstract
  • The growing season has come to an end and everyone is feverishly trying to harvest fruit before rain and/or frost, depending on the specific vineyard location throughout the state of Oregon. Here at OSU, we’ve been busy over the past few months providing programming to growers and winemakers. During August, September and the better part of early October there have been many vineyard and winery visits and workshops presented by OSU faculty. The Southern Oregon Vineyard Tour was held in early August, and OSU faculty members Phil VanBuskirk, Vaughn Walton, Jay Pscheidt, Patty Skinkis and Marcus Buchanan toured several vineyard sites in the Rogue, Illinois and Applegate Valleys with a group of 20+ growers to evaluate and discuss vineyard issues. A similar tour was held in early August in the Columbia Gorge where Patty Skinkis and Steve Castagnoli toured several vineyard sites with a group of growers, lead by Lonnie Wright, of The Pines Vineyard and Winery, to discuss management methods that work well for the area. In mid August, Patty Skinkis, James Osborne and Steve Renquist kicked of the first workshop in a series of statewide programs known as “Vine Ventures” in Roseburg. As everyone’s attention turned to fruit ripening and harvest in September, Skinkis and Osborne presented two hands-on workshops on grape maturity. One of the workshops was in collaboration with Chemeketa’s grape and wine programs and the other was presented in Hood River in conjunction with the OSU Hood River County Extension and Columbia Gorge Community College. Participants learned sampling techniques to assess maturity prior to harvest. In addition, Osborne presented a workshop on winery sanitation for Columbia Gorge area wineries. OSU faculty also participated in a LIVE vineyard tour to discuss sustainable management practices including cover crop management, weed control and short shoot problems at Domaine Serene (Joel Myers) and Stoller Vineyards (Allen Holstein and Jaime Cantu) and a look at oak restoration efforts with the Gladharts at Winter’s Hill Winery. As we go into the “dormant” or “winemaking” season, depending on your area of expertise, OSU faculty will provide opportunities for workshops on vineyard economics, dormant pruning, winery filtration and more. Please see our “Upcoming Events” section for future OSU workshops as well as state, regional and national conferences.
