Beginning on February 9, the Sonoma County Winegrape Commission is presenting three meetings for grape growers in the Russian River Watershed who use water for frost protection. The meetings will cover what growers need to know to be in compliance with the new State Water Control Board regulations on frost protecting with water from the Russian River and on joining any approved Water Demand Management groups and programs by March 5. There will be a Q&A session at each meeting.

The February 14, meeting at 1:30-3:30pm is for growers in the Dry Creek and Knight's Valley appellations. The meeting will be held at Clos du Bois, 19414 Geyserville Avenue, Geyserville. Growers may attend any of the meetings although appellation specifics may be discussed on assigned days.

RSVP to attend three days prior to each meeting by contacting Karen at 707-522-5862 or ipm@sonomawinegrape.org.
