Class Is In Session with Dr. Justin Scheiner of Texas A&M
My guest today is Dr. Justin Scheiner from the Viticulture & Enology Department at Texas A&M University. We cover a lot of ground including drifting herbicides, pest management, organic grape growing, and resources available at TAMU for wine makers and grape growers. Plus, what you need to ask before you plant a vineyard!
Texas Monthly just published a major (online) story on the topic of herbicide drift. Don't miss it. Plus hear how 50 Cent made a splash at the Houston Rodeo Uncorked auction, announcing a new winemaker for Los Pinos Ranch, and news of a bankruptcy filing for the largest winery in Texas.
Cheers y'all!
