However you like your muscadine grapes, you’ll find something of
interest in the 2001 Georgia/South Carolina Muscadine Meeting and
Field Day Sept. 28 in Griffin, Ga.

University of Georgia scientists and others will lead the
program. They will provide updates on everything from
direct-marketing muscadines to the pollination of the plants to
the nutraceutical compounds in the grapes.

The event starts at 9 a.m. on the Griffin
campus of the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental
Sciences.

Taste Panel, Vineyard Tour

It includes a sponsored lunch and a popular taste panel of
muscadine cultivars. And it ends with a 2 p.m. tour of the
Georgia Experiment Station vineyards.

preregistered by Sept. 21).
