Symposium Chair Dr. Anita Oberholster of the University of
California, Davis, has pulled a line-up of speakers that will
have you seeing red…I mean, Red Blotch.
This full-day comprehensive update on
GRBV and its impact on the wine industry will be presented by
leading researchers in their respective fields. Presentations
will include an overview of the virus and progression, how red
blotch disease spreads, methods for tracking the disease
remotely, how to mitigate the disease in the vineyard and how
GRBV impacts wine composition and sensorial attributes.
The symposium will offer practical
advice on how to counter GRBV, appropriate controls, and an
opportunity to taste wines made from grapes infected with the
disease.
Respected professor emeritus and phenolic wine chemist
Dr. Andrew Waterhouse of the University of
California, Davis, will present this year’s Honorary Research
Lecture, “ Three Ideas,” on June 19 in Portland, Oregon.
ASEV honors a research lecturer who is actively involved in
scientific research and has a current national or international
reputation in their field of research.
Dr. Waterhouse inherited Vernon Singleton’s (ASEV Honorary
Research Lecture recipient in 1986) mission to study phenolic
compounds after joining the Department of Viticulture and Enology
at UC Davis in 1991. Initially, the French Paradox directed his
early collaborations on resveratrol and health-related phenolic
adsorption and metabolism studies. His current research focuses
on phenolics in vineyard developments as well as winemaking
techniques, and wine oxidation studies that look at basic
chemical pathways using modern analytical techniques. He headed
many projects – some with industry involvement, including a
large-scale productive oak barrel study and others that attracted
public interest, including studies on chocolate and antioxidants
and most recently, red wine headaches.
“I am most grateful to the Society for this honor, but the real
honorees are the many students and visitors who had great ideas,
and of course, did most of the work. I hope Vern Singleton would
be pleased as well,” said Waterhouse.
