DAVIS, CA, April 18, 2008…The American Society for Enology and Viticulture (ASEV) is honoring two industry leaders for their contributions to grapegrowing and winemaking this June at its 59th Annual Meeting in Portland. This year, ASEV’s Merit Award recipient is Robert Steinhauer of California, and Dr. Peter Winterhalter of Germany will present the Honorary Research Lecturer. (more…)

The Annual Meeting’s popular golf tournament is open to any member of our industry or academia as noted below. We will use the “4 man scramble” format to allow golfers with differing skill levels to help the team. The ASEV Golf Classic is a great way to make new friends in our ever-changing industry. Awards will be presented during the tournament luncheon that will be at the close of the tournament.
