    • Chambourcin and the Shawnee Hills AVA: Scott Albert

    • Tom Plocher and Developing New Wine Grapes, Part 2
      Mar 27 2024
      This is the second part of our discussion with Tom Plocher from Plocher Vines. In this episode we get into some more macro discussion. We discuss how breeding more resilient wine grape cultivars can help handle adverse weather events. Petite Peal was Tom's first release and we get into what traits Tom thinks Petite Pearl will have regardless of where its grown. This episode is broken into 3 sections: Section 1 (1:20)
      • Where Tom’s cultivars are grown
      • How grape breeding and new wine cultivars fit into sustainability in light of recent weather events in wine production regions
      Section 2 (~13:25)
      • What characteristics of Petite Pearl in the vineyard and winery should be consistent between regions
      • How having options for grape varieties provides wineries with the ability to adapt to their market and regional weather conditions
      • How state-centric promotion the wine industry could limit the impact of lesser known wine grape regions and recognition of the wines from those regions
      Section 3 (~21:35)
      • Are the traits of a wine grape directly correlated with its parents?
      • The current gaps in cold hardy wine grape cultivars
