Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

Tom Burr was introduced as the new Administrative Advisor for NE1020. Various potential funding sources were discussed including SCRI, Federal Formula Funds and Viticultural Consortium. In addition the National Clean Plant Network was discussed with regards to how a portion of the funding would be used for grapes. Potential locations nationally for foundation plantings were discussed. Opportunities for the NCPN to collaborate with NE1020 were discussed. Committee reports were presented with emphasis on protocols for data collection, how weather events such as freeze impact data collection, statistical methods and there was significant attention paid to possible enological evaluations that may be done on the project and how it may be funded. State reports followed and discussion on the writing of Viticultural Consortium proposals.

Accomplishments

Bruce Reisch reported on promising results from NY95.0301.01, also NY 76.0844.24 and NY81.0315.17 both in grape quality and for excellent disease resistance. A number of state members reported some problems with their plant material, either not surviving or being of incorrect varieties. It was decided that for future meetings all state reports will follow the format used by NE-1040. Imed Dami will right the 2010 VC East proposal and Bernd Maier will write the VC West. These are the major sources of external funding to support the project.

Impacts

The long term impact for this project is to provide accurate information on the performance of important but lesser-known grape varieties and clones to the grape industry.
Several replicated plantings have been established that will serve as important resources for vine evaluation over a wide range of climactic conditions. Data collection is being coordinated in a manner that will provide the most meaningful information to stakeholders.
