Be sure to specify that you’ll be attending the Cromwell seminar and how many people will attend. Please also advise Pacific Rim if you would like Charlie to visit your winery while he is in Central Otago. This seminar will focus on the following questions: Sensory evaluation? Chemical tests? Direct Microscopic Exam? Culturing? PCR-Based Genetic Tests? Genetic Sequencing? Is any one test enough by itself? With so much focus on newer genetic methods of microbe analysis, winemakers need to examine carefully each method, especially its advantages and disadvantages. When should you use newer methods? When do traditional methods give you a better picture of what is going on in your wine? WE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS AND MORE: • What does each microbiology method ACTUALLY test? • What are the advantages and disadvantages of each microbe testing method? • Which methods are most useful at which points in the winemaking process? • Do you really need expensive genetic methods? If so, when are they cost-effective? • What do the results of each method mean to your wine and how do they influence your decisions on microbe management? Don’t miss this great opportunity, register today!
