On behalf of ASEV and CAWG, the entire Unified joins in expressing our sympathies to the family of Dr. Anita Oberholster, who passed away Saturday, January 11, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
A professor of Cooperative Extension in Enology at the University of California, Davis, Anita was a serving member of the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium’s LLC Managing Committee, a consistent presenter in many of the Unified sessions and a long-time ASEV board member. Known for her recent work on smoke taint research, she was a regular presenter at many conferences and webinars throughout the wine industry globally.
Her loss is considerable, and we owe Anita a debt of thanks for her many contributions. Her passion, humanity, leadership and dedication to excellence will be sorely missed.
