For more than half a century, winery and vineyard leaders have
gathered in June at the ASEV annual meetings for research
updates, to network with friends and colleagues and to learn
about innovations that allow them to be more competitive.
This year and for the first time, sponsors and advertisers will
have the opportunity to reach a unique and diverse client base
with focus on the Napa Valley wine region.
The 2008 ASEV symposium, “Phenolics Substances in Grapes and
Wine,” honored Dr. Vernon L. Singleton of the University of
California, Davis, for his outstanding and influential career in
wine phenolic chemistry. Over the course of four decades that
were marked by the publication of more than 220 papers and four
books, Dr. Singleton produced a profoundly influential series of
works focused on phenolic chemistry.

ASEV will celebrate its 60th Annual Meeting by debuting a new
venue. Research reports, supplier-industry seminars and themed
symposia—all capitalizing on wineries, vineyards and suppliers of
Napa Valley will be offered. Immerse yourself in our
content-driven program while networking with hosts from vineyards

The ASEV Board of Directors recently approved an ASEV scholarship
in the name of Mike Vail. Mike passed away in September and was a
dedicated member of the board of directors.
The annual scholarship will be awarded to a student pursuing a
degree in viticulture. This award is part of the total
scholarship funding ASEV grants each year to students enrolled
full-time in undergraduate or graduate degree programs in
enology, viticulture, or directly related fields of science with
an emphasis in these areas.
Committed to building the next generation of industry leaders,
the American Society for Enology and Viticulture (ASEV) awarded
20 students studying in North America with scholarships totaling
$60,000. All the recipients are pursuing a degree in enology,
viticulture or a curriculum emphasizing a science basic to the
wine and grape industry at universities and colleges across the
nation. ASEV is proud to announce the recipients of the 2008-2009
scholarships:
Opus One’s winemaker, Michael Silacci (right), officially took
reign as president of the ASEV Board of Directors as of July 1,
succeeding Past President Craig Rous (left) of Bear Creek Winery.
“Craig Rous provided outstanding leadership to guide a unique and
diverse group of individuals. He was instrumental in many of the
innovative new program concepts and ideas that the ASEV is
introducing,” Silacci said. “He did a superb job as president,
and I am lacing my boots tightly to follow in his footsteps.”
The 2008 Annual Meeting held in Oregon in June hosted the largest
crowd in three years. Attendance increased by 15% and the nearly
100 research reports presented reflected a 50% increase over
2007.
The Oregon wine industry provided an excellent setting as
researchers and wine and grape industry members toured Oregon
wineries, learned more about the world’s recognized Pinot noir
regions, interacted with well-regarded domestic and international
scientists, and had the opportunity to witness a unique slate of
sensory scientists from California, Europe and Australia.
The American Society for Enology and Viticulture (ASEV) is
honoring two industry leaders for their contributions to
grapegrowing and winemaking this June at its 59th Annual Meeting
in Portland. This year, ASEV’s Merit Award recipient is Robert Steinhauer of California,
and Dr. Peter Winterhalter of Germany will present the Honorary Research Lecturer.
This year’s American Society for Enology and Viticulture’s (ASEV)
59th Annual Meeting will be held at the Oregon Convention Center
in Portland, Oregon, on June 17 – 20, 2008. Key highlights for
this year’s conference are the themed Supplier Showcase seminars
set for June 18 and 19, a regional winery tour, research reports,
including world-renowned experts in enology and viticulture, and
the chance to taste local wines at the Pacific Northwest Wine
Reception.
DAVIS, CA, March 10, 2008…. Labeled “elegant and complex” by the
American Society for Enology and Viticulture (ASEV) best paper
committee, England’s John C. Danilewicz’s paper, “Interaction of
Sulfur Dioxide, Polyphenols, and Oxygen in a Wine-Model System:
Central Role of Iron and Copper,” has been selected as the best
enology paper published in 2007 in the American Journal of
Enology and Viticulture (AJEV).
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.
