Aroma Symposium

An Important Extra Day
 
Don't think the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium stops on Thursday this year. On Friday, the Aroma Symposium continues with an in-depth look at how viticultural parameters and practices affect final wine sensory attributes.
 
"Because of its viticultural basis, the Aroma Symposium should hold wide appeal to both grape growers as well as winemakers," says Dr. John Thorngate the program chairman for the 2009 Unified Wine & Grape Symposium.
 
"The Aroma Symposium is very timely, given that harvest decisions have evolved from the days when Brix and acidity defined grape ripeness," said Thorngate. "More recently we've seen an increased interest in grape phenolics as ripeness criteria, but the holy grail will be to reliably and reproducibly harvest based upon flavor attributes, whether actual or potential."
 
The day's activities will include panel discussions with an collection of international speakers, and attendees will be able to taste wines associated with some of the ongoing research.
 
Registration for the Aroma Symposium is not included as part of the regular registration for the Unified Symposium, so make sure you add it when registering. If you have already registered but didn't include the Aroma Symposium, you can return to the Unified Symposium Web site and add it to your registration.
