Napa Valley – Connecting the Rocks Napa Valley Vintners

Napa Valley Rocks is an engaging program digging into what makes the Napa Valley America’s premier winegrowing re-gion.Even though the wines of Napa Valley achieved international renown as early as the end of the 19th century, the true search for terroir in this world-renowned region is a fairly recent endeavor. Less than 30 wineries were trying to make a go of it by the time the Paris Tasting of 1976 launched Napa and California into the international spotlight, and it wasn’t until 1994 that Cabernet Sauvignon became the valley’s most planted variety.Geology and geography combine in Napa Valley to create a virtual kaleidoscope of terroir. Soil differences can change within a few feet and climatic patterns vary widely depending

on a vineyard’s proximity to San Pablo Bay, elevation, slope and directional aspect.We explore the unique geological formation of the valley, why it has the ideal climate to grow grapes, historical milestones, and the tradition of leadership that is continued today. These materials will further your understanding of Napa Valley — use them to educate yourself and others about what makes our region unique in the world of wine.This session will include a short winetasting event following education.

Keith Pabian, Pabian Law

Reading the Palms: Why H-2B visas will continue to be key to your club’s seasonal staffing success.

For private clubs in Florida, utilizing H-2B visas to bring foreign staff to the USA to work during its busy months can play an immense role in a club having a good season!  Despite the seemingly endless changes to the H-2B seasonal visa process over the past year, H-2B seasonal visas continue to be incredibly important to the private club industry.  Attorney Keith Pabian will present on visa options for private clubs, the role of H-2B visas in a private club’s staffing strategy, and provide an update on where the H-2B visa process stands today, just about 18 months after the government revised the regulations governing this visa.
