| Noble Muscadine |
The 2010 Muscadine Field Day will be held on Saturday, August 21, 2010 beginning at 8:30 am at the McNeill vineyard. The vineyard is located on Highway 11 just south of McNeill, MS.
This year we will have more informative talks including:
Dr. Wayne Porter, MSU-ES, will speak on Muscadine Production and growing muscadines.
Dr. Blair Sampson, USDA, will talk about insect pests and beneficial insects.
Dr. Steve Stringer ,USDA, will give you an update about new and upcoming varieties.
The speakers will be available for questions about the varieties as you have the opportunity to walk through the vineyard. There will be information about the different varieties, which are good for juice, which are better for eating fresh, and which is better for wine making. There will also be recent research information on resveratrol, a natural chemical found in muscadines.
On your stroll through the vineyard, you see the different varieties growing and be able to taste them. Muscadines have a unique flavor, different from table grapes that are sold in the grocery stores. There are also a couple of varieties that would be great in your landscape. We will provide you with a zip-lock bag to take some home.
