Washington State Wine Research Priority Survey 2017

Washington State Wine Commission Research Priorities

We want your input!

Viticulture and enology research in Washington State is driven by research priorities set annually by the Washington Research Advisory Committee, a subcommittee of the Washington State Wine Commission. This brief survey will help the committee update top research priorities facing the Washington wine industry. Please have the proper person on your staff (vineyard manager, winemaker, etc.) that would utilize V & E research information complete either the viticulture or enology sections (or both). Thank you in advance for your time and input.
