We are excited to announce the Gulf Coast Grape & Wine Symposium, taking place Thursday, September 24, 2026, at the Texas A&M AgriLife Thomas Ranch Research Vineyard in Anderson, Texas.
This year’s program will bring together members of the Texas A&M Viticulture & Enology Team to share current research and updates focused on Blanc Du Bois, Pierce’s Disease-resistant winegrape varieties, emerging variety performance, and enology research. The afternoon will conclude with a wine tasting and winemaker discussion featuring Blanc Du Bois and the new UC Davis varieties.
The symposium is free to attend, and lunch will be provided, but advance registration is required. The full program and registration information are included in the attached flyer.
I have also attached our September 2026 Grape & Wine Industry Report, which includes additional updates from the Texas A&M Viticulture & Enology Program, Extension resources, research and publication highlights, and news from our teaching programs in College Station.
Please feel free to share the symposium information and newsletter with growers, winemakers, colleagues, and others who may be interested. We hope you can join us on September 24!
