Expert speakers from Australia, New Zealand, France, England,
Italy, Portugal, Spain and the U.S. are convening for Tuesday’s
symposium, “New Understandings in Wine
Oxidation Symposium,” to talk about the major advancements
and new developments in wine oxidation. While it’s been an active
area of research for the past 15 years, the last five have been
the most enlightening. This one-day symposium will include the
most important and productive research teams from around the
world, who will cover the following: (1) the fundamental
understanding of oxidation chemistry and (2) the application of
the new understanding to managing wine production for achieving
desired results.
Throughout its evolution, the National Conference has adopted a
series of seminars with practical application in mind. If you
haven’t been to one, here’s a sneak peek of this year’s Industry
Seminar:
This seminar is designed to explore practical aspects of red wine
color. Speakers will walk you through how humans perceive color,
vineyard management tools for color, wine analysis and winery
decision making.
This seminar will address how and why disease organisms develop
resistance to certain types of fungicides, how to monitor the
development of resistant mildew populations before they become
problematic and how growers can develop spray programs that help
to sustain the use of effective fungicide materials.
Aging wine on yeast lees can have a significant impact on aroma
and mouthfeel properties. These effects may be a direct
consequence of the release of cellular components from yeast
during the self-digestion process known as autolysis, but the
changes can also arise from the oxygen-consuming capacity of the
yeast lees. You will learn more about these aspects of lees aging
as well as receive a practical guide to managing lees in the
winery.
Meet people working in all aspects of the wine industry while you
sip on Washington wines. Wednesday’s reception will
showcase four themed stations with different tastings: (1) Off
the Beaten Path, (2) The Whites of Washington, (3) Washington
Meets Rhone, and (4) Ode to Bordeaux. Thursday’s Student-Industry Mixer
includes acknowledgement of the 2017 scholarship recipients and
best student presentation awards. Wines poured at Thursday’s
mixer are being donated by South Seattle Community College, Walla
Walla Community College, Washington State University and Yakima
Valley Community College. Both receptions are sponsored by
Washington State
Wine.
After last year’s initial event and the overwhelming positive
response, ASEV has expanded the early career member focus on
professional development. This year’s speaker, Michael Silacci of
Opus One and former ASEV president, will share a collection of
stories about individuals who took different paths through the
wine industry. His presentation, “Desperately Seeking Millenials
with Baby Boomer Work Ethics,” will explore different
education backgrounds, associations with scientific and trade
organizations, and work cultures.
While AJEV, established in 1950, is our flagship
journal, Catalyst: Discovery into Practice is
our newly launched journal. AJEV continues to publish full-length
research papers, literature reviews, research notes, and
technical briefs on various aspects of enology and viticulture,
including wine chemistry, sensory science, process engineering,
wine quality assessments, microbiology, methods development,
plant pathogenesis, diseases and pests of grape, rootstock and
clonal evaluation, effects of field practices, and grape genetics
and breeding. All papers are peer
reviewed, and authorship of papers is not limited to members
of ASEV.
Catalyst completes the continuum with translation of
research into practice and focuses on extending fundamental
discoveries in the scientific disciplines to sustain and advance
winemaking and grapegrowing. Catalyst will consider text-based
and video submissions. Its focus is to provide information in a
readily accessible format for readers via HighWire Press, the
current publisher of AJEV online.
Here at ASEV, volunteers are the heart of the organization and
essential to our success. Our board and committee members are all
