ProgramSpeaker – Sydney Noonan, a viticulturist with Vina Quest LLC.
Sydney went to school at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and got a degree in Viticulture. She grew loving to play outside and play with bugs and animals and this line of work just seemed to work. She studied wine making but found that Viticulture, which means grape growing, suited her better. She does not decide when to harvest the grapes but rather how to deal with bugs, pests and molds and funghi that might be harming the vine or the grape. Her days are spent cruising vineyards and looking for certain types and bugs and critters that might harm vineyards. She is also called by the winemakers when the discover a pest and they need to know how to get rid of it without harming the vine or the grape. She also consults on what fertilizers to use based on what the vine might need.
There was a lengthy Q&A session. She told us about organic labeling and Dry Farming. Dry farming is making maximum use of the water in the ground and not having to water the vines. Organic seems to be if you pay for the designation you get it.
It was a very informative program and her mother also came to listen and she is the current city attorney of Thousand Oaks.
