Consultant wanted northern NJ vineyard project.

Starting a small 2 acre vineyard in northern New Jersey and seeking someone to consult with for rootstock selection and trellis system design. I've been making wine for 50 years but don't know how to grow a grape. LOL

I think Rutgers has a viticulture program. Other local universities may as well. The university programs can be very helpful and may have lists of consultants

I have applied to the brand new Rutgers grape and wine certificate program. I’m hoping they have some contacts.

I just enrolled as well. See you in a couple weeks.

Happy to report that I'm now certified by Rutgers in Wine and Grape Science. My new friend Patrick (see last post) was my classmate.
Just finished my last bottling and almost time to start the next vintage.
