Accomplishments

- The 2008 proposals will be resubmitted in 2009 by Bill Nail (CT) and Tim Martinson (NY), focusing on cost of maintenance of the established vineyards. - Each state investigator's update on their project and the status is following the scheduled timeline. - The viticulture protocol was refined and discussed with detailed procedures on cultural practices, data collection and wine-making. Sub-committees, established in 2008, will make protocols available for all collaborators in February 2009.

Impacts

The long term outcome of this project is to improve the competitiveness of U.S. grape growers and wineries by providing performance information about lesser-known cultivars and clones.
