The annual cold climate conference in St Paul Minnesota runs from Feb 21-23 and is a show dedicated specifically to growing in northern cold climate regions. The following in an excerpt from conference chair Teresa Savaryn:

this year’s conference theme has been titled, “The Grape Collaboration… Grape Minds Think Alike.” The conference will be hosted once again at the Crowne Plaza Riverfront, in our picturesque city of St. Paul.

With the help of many talented and professional members, the Cold Climate Conference Committee for 2013 has organized an outstanding educational program. Our Keynote speaker, Sara Spayd, was an integral participant in the booming growth and expansion of the Washington State grape and wine industry. We are so pleased to have her share her experience and wisdom at the CCC. Please read her article in the Northern Tier being published this November.

Schedule highlights include:

Northern Grape training and canopy management.
Harvest Timing and parameters.
Wine Clarification and Microbial Stability.
