SPEAKER:

Gary C. Pavlis, Ph.D.

Professor & Atlantic County Agricultural Agent

Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station

 

In the beginning you were happy that you knew the difference between a Chardonnay and a Cabernet. Not long after came along Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio, which you were finally getting straight only to get blindsided by Chambourcin and Traminette. Well your luck had just changed. Come and join us at the Silver Decoy Winery. We are pleased to welcome our speaker, Gary C. Pavlis, Ph.D., C.W.J. back by popular demand. During Gary’s wine tour and presentation, he will introduce us to the new and upcoming wines, reacquaint us with the traditional wines, and help to simplify the confusing world of wine. Gary will also share his insights on how to enjoy the wines grown here in our home state of New Jersey. 

 

Dr. Pavlis is a Professor and County Agricultural Agent for Rutgers Cooperative Extension, where he works with his number one passion -- WINE. As the Atlantic County Agricultural Agent, he has played an instrumental role in the New Jersey wine industry. Gary has chaired and conducted the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Wine Competition for many years. Gary is a past American Wine Society President and Associate Editor for Viticulture, Journal of the American Wine Society. Gary’s worldwide travels have him evaluating over 2,000 wines annually. At home he enjoys his 3,000 bottle personal wine cellar.
