Winter Grape & Wine Industry Meeting
January 22nd, 2010
Join the entire Ohio wine community for a gathering to learn a little, build internal relationships and participate in planning for a powerful future for the Ohio Grape and Wine Industry – and while we are together, have some fun. rnOn Saturday, this two day event will feature morning marketing workshops presenting cutting edge information. We'll talk about social media and discuss alcohol consumption trends as identified by the Neilson folks and from research gleaned from the Wine Market Council. rnWe'll enjoy a light lunch. Following lunch, a customer service program, with an emphasis on the upcoming ‘Secr et Shoppers program will be presented. rnDuring the afternoon and the next day, a limited number of industry suppliers will be setting up tables to share their knowledge and products with attendees. Still on Saturday, we will review Ohio wine law in a discussion led by Marc Myers of the firm Blaugrund, Herbert and Martin, one of the most respected liquor law minds in the state. He will be joined by representatives familiar with new changes within the Division of Liquor Control who will also be available to answer questions. rnSaturday evening will feature a wine reception where winemakers meet, greet and share tall tales regarding their wines and grape growing adventures. WE ARE ASKING THAT EACH ATTENDEE BRING 2 BOTTLES OF WINE TO SHARE. rnOn Sunday morning at 10 a.m., the Ohio Wine Producers Association will hold its Annual meeting. While this is open only to members, during the session, we will arrange for those non members who attend the conference to tour at the newly opened Soine Winery which is just a short 15 minute drive from our hotel. rnLunch will feature Nichola Hall from Scott Labs [one of our corporate sponsors] who will be discussing the latest in wine lab techniques. rnAfter lunch, we have planned a winery-grower roundtable to discuss mutually important relationships, provide an overview of the VEAP program, the opportunities presented by OQW program will share an exciting update on the association and Grape Industries marketing programs. Staff members of the OARDC team and Christy Eckstein of the OGIC will assist in moderating the session. rnThe afternoon will close with a business plan development seminar in two concurrent round table sessions: one for those planning a winery or may have been open only a year or two. This will run concurrently with a second discussion on future items to consider for much more established wineries. rnThe Dublin Embassy is located at 5100 Metro Place, 43017.
