Welcome to my viticulture research homepage! Currently, I am responsible for viticulture research in the Lake Erie regional grape belt, which includes 30,000 acres of grape production in Western New York and Erie County, Pennsylvania. My intention for this web site is to build a resource for myself and the grower community on current research at the Fredonia Vineyard Lab. If you have any questions or suggestions on the contents of the site, please drop me an email.
