Keith Striegler, internationally renowned viticulturist will be the featured speaker at the University of Nebraska Viticulture Program’s Fall Workshop to be held at the Downtown Lincoln Holiday Inn on December 3, 2011.

This all-day workshop is presented in cooperation with the Nebraska Winery and Grape Growers Association and will be preceded by a class on understanding how to evaluate wine on the Friday, December 2 evening before the workshop.

Many Nebraska grape and wine industry people will remember Keith Striegler from his June 2010 presentations at a workshop held at Miletta Vista Winery near St. Paul, NE. Several in attendance said “Keith’s great! We should have him back again!” - So, we’re doing just that. Keith’s experiences include research in Michigan, California, Arkansas and Missouri, so he brings a diverse, but distinctly Midwest flavor to his presentations. You won’t want to miss his informative and stimulating presentations.

Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m. with the program commencing at 9:00 a.m. Refreshment breaks and lunch are included in the registration fee and will afford excellent opportunities to interact with fellow growers and winery folks. A wine tasting of some of Nebraska’s finest wines will conclude the day’s activities.
