American Society for Enology and Viticulture (ASEV) best paper
committee, England’s John C. Danilewicz’s paper, “Interaction of

What is open access? Open access refers to publications that are
made freely available in the public domain. Recent debate about
open access has centered on publicly funded research, such as the
publication of medical research funded by the National Institutes
of Health. Free access to such publications is consistent with
the expectation that taxpayer-funded research should be
accessible to the public, whether through the Internet,
libraries, and various forms of printed or online material.
The Pacific Northwest wine and grape region will be center stage
on June 17-20, as the American Society for Enology and
Viticulture hosts its 59th Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon.
Key highlights for this year’s conference are the themed Supplier
Showcase seminars, regional winery tours, and a taste of the
Pacific Northwest, in addition to attending research-based
seminars including world-renowned experts in enology and
viticulture.
