Patty Skinkis is a viticulture Extension Specialist and a core researcher with the Oregon Wine Research Institute, based at Oregon State University. Her research focuses on how yield affects quality. It starts in the lab, with examining the buds, and continues into the field, with testing various amounts of thinning, and then to evaluating the quality of the wine.
