Wine Grapes for New York's North Country: The Willsboro Cold Climate Variety Trial

Abstract

The introduction of cold-hardy grape cultivars in the mid 1990s made grape and wine production possible in cold-climate regions like northern New York. Anna Wallis and Tim Martinson discuss the results of a seven-year cold-hardy grape study on phenology, winter injury, yield, and fruit composition at a research vineyard near Lake Champlain.
