All of our one-year vines are grown on raised beds covered with black, biodegradable plastic. Each row is supplied with water and nutrients by trickle irrigation. Soil moisture is monitored with the use of tensiometers to ensure that the vines are never stressed. The warm soil conditions beneath the plastic, accompanied by an abundant supply of water and nutrients, ensures ideal conditions for plant growth and root development. These vines are well prepared for planting and vigorous growth in the spring. 2 CONTRACT GROWING We will gladly grow any variety on a contract basis if we can obtain the propagation material. Arrangements must be made 12 to 18 months in advance with a deposit required at the time of order. Minimum orders apply. GRADING STANDARDS AT DOUBLE A VINEYARDS 1 yr Extra – These are still one year old vines but they have a heavier, more solid root structure and have exhibited above average growth the first year. 1 yr #1 – These are our standard size vines and they represent the majority of the vines available. These vines have a good root system to support the vine at planting and have exhibited good health in the field. PRICING Over-50 pricing is for any combination of 50 vines.

VITICULTURIST RICK DUNST Double A Vineyards has been fortunate to have our own viticulturist on staff for the past three seasons. Rick Dunst spent 30 growing seasons at the Cornell Vineyard Lab in Fredonia, N.Y., performing viticulture research studies and examining the growth patterns and pest susceptibility of a range of grape cultivars. When not in the field, Rick responds to customer inquiries and concerns, interprets soil and disease analyses data, and makes varietal recommendations. Contact Rick for advice regarding any of these topics at rick.dunst@ doubleavineyards.com. Rick also writes the monthly Double A Vineyards newsletter.

Vineyards Fredonia, NY 14063 From Route 86 (Old Route 17) 5 WER O FOR THE HOME GROWER To assist our customers with their planting decisions, we have put together two ME GR categories - Hybrid and European Vinifera. Each category consists of red and HO white options, from which you may pick two. If you like red wine, maybe go for Marquette and Marechal Foch. A lover of white? How about a Riesling and a Chardonnay? Not sure? Go for one of each! We also have some pre-selected groupings that consist of some of our customers’ favorite plants and are appropriate for the home gardener. With proper care and site selection, these plants will produce nice wine, table or juice grapes. Wine collections were compiled to yield 10 gallons of wine.

Cockburn Assistant Professor of Food Science Robert F. Roberts Professor of Food Science Head of the Department of Food Science Approved by: Dr. ii ABSTRACT Numerous studies have indicated that the wine microbiome could generate various volatile compounds which could lead to distinguishing and different wine characteristics. However, little research regarding the wine microbiome is investigating specific microorganisms and their role within the entire microbial community under a more comprehensive sampling method. Thus, in this study we conducted direct sampling from Central and Northeast PA wineries instead of using lab-scale production to study the effect of the wine microbiome on the wine metabolome. Resulting grape and wine samples were characterized by next-generation sequencing and headspace-solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS). Collectively, the innovative sampling and experimental techniques provided a high-resolution picture of microbial dynamics and the resulting wine volatile profiles. Overall, we illustrated how microbial diversity and relative abundance of specific microorganisms change as fermentation progressed. Also, various wine volatile metabolites that are formed during the different fermentation stages were identified.

  • Wyoming Residents Grow Grapes for Wines, Jellies
    UW Cooperative Extension Service April 2010 Page 3 Wyoming residents grow grapes for wines, jellies By Sandra Frost Bucking horses, coal mines, gas wells, and high, cold desert are images that come to mind first when asked about Wyoming. Grapes and wine are not near the top of the list. Grapes are successfully grown in Wyoming, though, at both the homeowner and commercial scales. Grape varieties may be suitable for juice, jams, and jellies, table grapes, or wine production. Grape variety research was done at the University of Wyoming Sheridan Research and Extension Center (SREC) over several years (www. uwyo.edu/uwexpstn/Sheridan.asp). Colorado State University bhas also conducted grape variety trials under conditions similar to Wyoming and makes variety recommendations (www.coopext. colostate.edu/TRA/PLANTS/fruit.shtml).

Hybrids 15% American 7% Muscadines 1% Profiles and Challenges…continued… • V. vinifera cultivars are the most widely grown in Oklahoma…; however, observation and research has shown most European cultivars to be highly susceptible to cold damage. • More research needs to be conducted to elicit where European cultivars will do best in Oklahoma. • French-American hybrids are good alternatives due to their better cold tolerance, but have not been embraced by Oklahoma grape growers... Reasons for this bias likely include hybrid cultivars being perceived as lower quality than European cultivars, lack of knowledge of available hybrid cultivars, personal preference, and misinformation. Profiles and Challenges…continued… • The unpredictable continental climate of Oklahoma is one of the foremost obstacles for potential grape growers. • It is essential that appropriate site selection be done prior to planting. • Many locations in Oklahoma are unsuitable for most grapes, including hybrids and American grapes. • Growing grapes in Oklahoma is a risky endeavor and minimization of potential loss by consideration of cultivar and environmental interactions is paramount to ensure long-term success. • There are areas where some European cultivars may succeed. • Many hybrid and American grapes are better suited for most areas of Oklahoma than

They are grown in home gardens for fruit and landscape the lives of New purposes or commercially for wine, raisins, or fresh consumption as “table” grapes. A cultivated variety, or “cultivar,” is a formal term for Mexicans through variety. Variety is the more common term, and will be used in this publication. Selecting grape varieties that are adapted to prevailing academic, research, climatic and soil conditions is an important step before planting. Very few locations above 6,000 feet in elevation are successful grape pro- and Extension duction sites. Suitable growing conditions at lower elevations are still very site-specific due to the major threat to grape culture: winter or programs. frost injury. Winter injury occurs at subfreezing temperatures during vine dormancy when no green tissue is present. Frost injury occurs at subfreezing temperatures when green tissue is present. A variety’s win- ter hardiness, or ability to withstand cold temperatures, depends on its genetic makeup or “type.” In addition to winter hardiness, other considerations when selecting a variety are its fruit characteristics, number of frost-free days required for ripening, disease susceptibility, yield potential, growth habit, and other cultural requirements.
