"Vine Talk" is the collective knowledge of VASCM members'
viticulture experience, organized seasonally for convenient reference. To
start, much of the content is derived from the newsletter columns written by
Prudy Foxx over the past few years. Help broaden the perspective and
enhance the content by sending topical write-ups of your own to Mary
Lindsay for inclusion in this section of our web site.
