Analytical chemistry professor and Head of the Laboratory
of Aroma Analysis and Enology (LAAE) in Spain, Dr.
Vicente Ferreira from Universidad de Zaragoza, Spain,
will present this year’s Honorary Research Lecture,
“What We Know
About the Chemical Bases of Wine Aroma Perception,” on June
28 at the 74th ASEV National Conference in Napa,
California.
Dr. Ferreira specializes in chemical analysis of the molecules
responsible for the different perceptions related to odor, flavor
and taste, and in the integration of the chemical information
used to interpret sensory perception. This knowledge has been
primarily applied to wine flavor, a field in which LAAE leads
globally.
Register now for the
74th ASEV National Conference to learn more about wine
perceptions from an international expert in the field.
Climate change has become another opportunity for Napa
Valley viticulturists and winemakers to lead the way in wine
industry competition, similar to the Judgement of Paris in 1976
when two Napa Valley wineries shocked the world by taking the top
spots. Michael Silacci, winemaker at Opus One,
has spent most of his career walking the vineyards in the Napa
Valley. He will reflect on his journey and how he and his team of
40-plus are preparing for the future.
Listen to his keynote address, “Judgement of Napa,” on June 28,
2023, at the 74th ASEV National Conference at the Napa
Valley Marriott in Napa, California. Register today!
In April, speakers Esther
Hernández Montes of Polytechnic
University of Madrid, Spain; Ben-Min Chang of
Agriculture and Agri-Food in Canada; Markus
Keller of Washington State University, Prosser;
Nataliya Shcherbatyuk of Washington State
University, Prosser; and Yun Zhang of Ste.
Michelle Wine Estates in Washington presented their paper on
“Soft,
Sweet and Colorful: Stratified Sampling Reveals Sequence of
Events at the Onset of Grape Ripening.” Key findings include:
Individual berries within a cluster ripen at different times
and have different chemical and physical properties at each stage
of ripening.
The current approach of lumping all berries of the same
cluster together during analysis overlooks important details of
the ripening process.
The term “veraison” may not be suitable for describing
individual berries, as multiple changes are occurring at
different times. It is more appropriate to use the term for the
overall population of berries in a vineyard.
The research was conducted by a diverse team from different
countries, reflecting the global nature of viticulture and the
collaboration happening in the wine industry.
Dr. Markus Keller noted during the Q&A session, “One thing
that I find exciting about this paper, is there are five authors
and each one of us has a different accent. We are from five
different countries and did the actual study in America, even
though none of us were born in the U.S., which reflects the
diversity we now have at ASEV and also in the world of
viticulture.”

For the new webinar series, we recommended that you read the published
paper, watch the authors present their findings and prepare
your questions to ask during the Q&A session. ASEV webinars
are free for ASEV members and $50 for non-members. Visit the
webinar page to register and for more
detailed information.
ASEV members are in the vineyards, the laboratories, the cellars
and the classrooms teaching the next oenophile. With their
passion and dedication to the industry, they are the ones
everyone turns to for answers.
Advertise your academic and industry technical positions and
internships on the ASEV Job Board and
get the right applicants to fill them. Resubmissions are
encouraged.
