Accomplishments

May 2005, Inaugural Meeting, University of California, Davis * Researchers met at UC Davis to discuss the project, its goals and timetables. * A governance structure was discussed and set in place * A future meeting structure was set in place November 2005, First Annual Meeting, Winchester, VA (T. Wolf, host) * Research protocols were discussed o Standard varieties were established for various climatic conditions o Plot establishment parameters were established (spacing and trellis) o Vineyard data proposed - Climate at the site - Vine growth and reproductive indices - Fruit quality indices o Winemaking protocols - Processing protocols - Chemical analyses - Sensory analyses * Where protocols needed addition discussion, sub-committees were formed (see Minutes) * Strategy for submission of research proposals (06-07) was discussed and agreed. * Meeting date and location were set for November, 2006, at North Carolina State University (S. Spayd, host) " Officer succession was set forth (see Minutes)

Impacts

Coordinated plantings of winegrapes will allow wider use of the data, particularly in the eastern U.S., where states in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic and Midwest have growing conditions that are similar enough to allow inferences to be drawn from cultivar trials in neighboring states. The NE-1020 represents the first such coordinated effort.
