DAVIS, CALIF., January 23, 2017…Drought, climate change and a
spate of Pacific Coast wildfires have heightened concerns about
the impact of smoke on winegrapes and wine. To address this
growing concern, the American Society for Enology and

experts, researchers and scientists to discuss this challenge as
part of its National
Conference in Bellevue, Washington, this summer.
On August 26, 2016, the Society felt the loss of one of its most

grape industry today. Please click

Speaking at an ASEV Symposium celebrating Dr. Singleton’s work in
2008, Dr. John H. Thorngate said, “It was an honor to have been a

areas underpinning grape and wine production. AJEV’s focus is
research, with a mission of “research to discovery.” Catalyst
will complete the continuum, with translation of research into
practice, and will focus on extending fundamental discoveries in
the scientific disciplines to sustain and advance winemaking and
grapegrowing.
