Annual Membership Meeting - A Look Back

3/10/2025

0 Comments

 
"These are challenging times. We've spent considerable time reflecting on where we missed opportunities to engage the next generation and how we failed to anticipate the resurgence of the temperance movement. The challenges ahead are real, but when we step back and focus on the heart of what we do—growing exceptional grapes and crafting extraordinary wines—we realize that at its core, our work is about sharing joy. There’s joy in every glass of wine, in the moments of togetherness it creates, and in the stories each vintage tells, whether it was a banner year or one filled with hardship." - Caleb Mosley, Executive Director, Napa Valley Grapegrowers

Podcast Episode 12: The Role of Research in Combatting Vineyard Disease with Dr. Kris Lowe & Glass with a Grower, Brittany Pederson

3/10/2025

0 Comments

 
In this episode of Grown in Napa Valley, host Caleb Mosley sits down with two influential women in the Napa Valley wine industry, both leading their own successful businesses.

First, Dr. Kris Lowe, owner of Vine Balance Consulting and a leader in vineyard research funding, discusses the vital role of research in combating vineyard diseases like Pierce’s disease and red blotch. She also explains the upcoming PDGWIS Board funding referendum and why grower participation is essential for Napa Valley’s future.

Next, Caleb chats with Brittany Pederson, founder of Vintuition, a viticulture consulting company. Brittany shares her career journey, insights into vineyard management, and the challenges and opportunities of being a woman in the wine industry. As they chat, they enjoy a glass of 2015 Phifer Pavitt Cabernet Sauvignon Date Night.

Join us for an engaging conversation filled with expertise, personal stories, and a shared passion for Napa Valley’s grape-growing community.

As we continue celebrating our 50th anniversary, it is with great pride that we embrace March’s theme: "50 Years of Championing Women in the Industry". March is Women’s History Month, a time to honor the remarkable contributions of women throughout history and in our present day. The Napa Valley has been shaped by some of the most respected and influential women in the grape growing and wine industries, whose dedication and vision have propelled our region onto the world stage. Throughout March, we invite you to join us in celebrating the women who have shaped agriculture in Napa Valley:
​
  • Follow our social media channels to see throwback photos honoring the female pioneers who paved the way, and share your own memories and tributes, and don’t forget to tag us for a chance to have your post reshared
  • Listen in to the next episode of Grown in Napa Valley, which will launch March 10. Dr. Kris Lowe discusses the importance of research, and Brittany Pederson and I chat about her career path and being female in agriculture
  • Stock up! We’re thrilled to share that woman-owned winery Crocker & Starr will be donating 10% of sales of their 2024 A.V.A. Rosé throughout March. Purchase your bottles for spring! 
  • Read our latest monthly Wine Business Monthly article featuring a Q&A with Brittany Pederson and Cathy Corison

​Together, let’s spotlight the extraordinary women whose passion, perseverance, and innovation have enriched our community for the past 50 years — and will continue to inspire us for generations to come.
