Save the date:  Thursday, December 6, 2012
What:  2012-13 Wine Flavor 101A: The Role of Closures in Wine Flavor
Management
Where: Freeborn Hall on the North Quad at UC Davis
Time: 9:00am to 4:15pm

 

We are starting the 2012-13 series of the hugely-popular Wine Flavor 101
seminars, targeted specifically to wine industry professionals, with a day
of discussion and evaluation of the 3 main types of closures used in
domestic wine production, and their impact on wine flavor. We're acting on
your suggestions from last year's evaluations: you wanted a more information
on closure options. 

Remember, these WineFlavor 101 classes are unique, and especially valuable,
because of the personal nature of the information that is presented; our
speakers/panelists introduce a topic and discuss how the impact characters
are expressed in the wine, then the attendees are able to personally
evaluate wines, in special tastings, that exhibit the characters discussed
in the lecture.   We encourage audience participation, so bring your ideas
and questions for discussion.  

NOTE: These classes are targeted specifically to wine and winegrape industry
professionals and, as such, are technical in nature.  Register early as
these classes have been very popular and often sell out before the event
date.

The tentative agenda, which could change slightly between now and December
6, is below:
