We are pleased to offer the Call for Abstracts for the 60th Annual Meeting in Napa, California. We encourage you to submit an abstract for consideration.

The annual meeting provides a forum for the presentation of research in the fields of enology and viticulture or related sciences. An abstract can be submitted independent of publication of a paper and we welcome abstracts for both ongoing and completed research projects.

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.

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.

Best Student Presentation Awards were granted in enology with sponsorship by Lallemand and in viticulture with sponsorship by Sunridge Nurseries.

The Honorary Research Lecture and Merit Award presentation were program highlights.

With the close of the final annual meeting Supplier Showcase, ASEV gratefully acknowledges the many industry suppliers that have supported the June trade show over the years.
