The focus of this year’s ASEV-ES meeting is issues associated with the production of aromatic white wines.  The meeting will start on Monday, July 14 with a day long winery tour.  The conference program on Tuesday, July 15 will include talks by researchers and graduate students from all over the eastern and Midwestern U.S. and Canada on a wide range of viticulture and enology topics such as disease management, canopy management practices and their impact on fruit quality, and winemaking techniques that can improve final wine quality.  This year’s symposium will take place on Wednesday, July 16, and will focus on issues in the production of aromatic white wines.  The symposium features a stellar lineup of international speakers from Germany, Alsace, the U.S. and Canada, including Olivier Humbrecht of Domaine Zind-Humbrecht.  This is great opportunity to learn about the latest information on how we can continue to make improvements in this very important product category for the Finger Lakes.  The full program, along with registration forms and lodging information, can be found at the ASEV-ES website
