Each year, the ASEV board and committee members volunteer their
time to put together a technical program of the latest scientific
research on emerging topics, such as water management and smoke
taint, to share with the industry. These and other profound
research discoveries are discussed at the annual National
Conference held in June.
To get a closer look at the 68th National Conference,
a summary of the
technical abstracts is now available for download and the
audio recordings for the
different sessions are available for purchase. For an inside look
into the conference, enjoy these photos
from this year’s event.
Mark your calendars for the 2018 National Conference in
Monterey, California, slated for June 18-21. We look forward to
seeing you there.
One of the many benefits ASEV members enjoy is the ability to
view videos of technical presentations from the National
Conference that are vital and relevant to the industry today. In
June, ASEV hosted the most important and productive research
teams from around the world who shared the major advances being
made in understanding wine oxidation chemistry. This
symposium is now available for members to view online.
