(Westernfarmpress) - Stressing vines may be exalted as a way to achieve wine greatness, but too much stress can be bad for both the vine and the grower. The 2011 vintage was certainly stressful for growers and vines alike — so it’s no accident that stress will lead the topics for discussion at the 2012 Central Coast Vine Symposium.The two‐day viticulture production conference and trade show will be held March 6‐7, 2012 at the Paso Robles Event Center. The theme for 2012 is “Learning from Adversity: how to turn yesterday’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities.” Several top‐notch speakers including Premiere Napa/Sonoma viticulturist and plant physiologist, Mark Greenspan, Ph.D., and renowned Central Coast winemaker, Ken Volk, will be among those to address these two distinctively different, yet intrinsically tied topics.
