Atlas Wine Co Omen Red Blend Winemaker Wine Region Alexandre Remy Madera AVA Atlas Wine Co Omen Red Blend Winemaker Wine region Alexandre Remy Madera AVA Story Atlas is a new generation farming company with over 40 years of combined expertise farming and developing vineyards around the world. Atlas respects and honors traditional farming practices but also actively seeks and implements innovative ideas and concepts. This enables Atlas Wine to produce hand-craed wine for under $20 that is made only from AVA grapes, yeast, oak and the minimum amount of free sultes necessary. No mega-purple, no DCDM, no added sweeteners or mouthfeel agents. Just great tasting wine for a very aordable price. Vineyard They pick the fruit just south of Placerville, at an elevation of 2,306 (!). Here in the Fair Play AVA, the high mountainside and deep granite soils develop grapes for intense wines. It’s astounding to us that this area has been growing incredible wine grapes since the California Gold Rush, yet it is still a relatively unknown, untapped goldmine of high quality fruit! Vinification In order to create the complex foundation of Omen, they work with a vibrant community of distinguished vineyards accross the Sierra Foothills. Each block has been fermented separately to be able to preserve the single chracteristics of the varietal and the vineyard. The Blend is then created and agede in 30% new French oak for 8 months. Tasting notes From spices to cassis and dark cherry notes, the complexity of the blend transcends into subtle notes of leather and dark chocolate. The mouth feel is rich with luscious and elegant tannins. A very bold and powerful wine that is still approachable and balanced.

  • A2B --- California Red Wine
    2014 A2B --- California Red Wine Now almost a forgotten varietal, Alicante Bouschet really deserves our attention! It’s one of those grapes that has (literally) been losing ground for 50+ years. To me it has just as much, if not more to offer you than some of today’s more common varietals. In the early part of the 20th century, it was the workhorse of the California grape industry; now it’s acreage is in decline every year. The majority of what remains is blended into anonymity: used to add color and backbone to other more fashionable, but less potent varietals. Our 2014 A2Bblend is made up of 80% Alicante and 20% Grenache that was grown in California’s Madera AVA. An under appreciated region that with modern viticultural practices is producing some super high quality fruit. The addition of the grenache this year served to brighten up the fruit and smooth the tannins of the blend. We produce this wine with zero wood (no oak and no cork) to allow the purity of the fruit to shine through unobstructed. It was fermented and aged for 9 months in stainless steel before being bottled bottled under cap in July 2016. Opaque dark ruby in color. Intoxicating aromas of blueberry and briary fruit leap forward first, followed by notes of caramel, cocoa, pepper, and a hint of sevilanno olive. I could go on. In your mouth, persistent, chewy fruit: blackberry pie + lots of blueberry. It has a lush texture, tannins that are fine and smooth, and just enough acidity to tie everything together.

  • Spatial Analysis of Climate in Winegrape Growing Regions in the Western United States
    Spatial Analysis of Climate in Winegrape Growing Regions in the Western United States Gregory V. Jones,1* Andrew A. Duff,2 Andrew Hall,3 and Joseph W. Myers4 Abstract: Knowledge of the spatial variation in temperature in wine regions provides the basis for evaluating the general suitability for viticulture, allows for comparisons between wine regions, and offers growers a measure of assessing appropriate cultivars and sites. However, while tremendous advances have occurred in spatial climate data products, these have not been used to examine climate and suitability for viticulture in the western United States. This research spatially maps the climate in American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) throughout California, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho using the 1971–2000 PRISM 400 m resolution climate grids, assessing the statis- tical properties of four climate indices used to characterize suitability for viticulture: growing degree-days (GDD, or Winkler index, WI), the Huglin index (HI), the biologically effective degree-day index (BEDD), and average growing season temperatures (GST). The results show that the spatial variability of climate within AVAs can be significant, with some regions representing as many as five climate classes suitable for viticulture. Compared to static climate station data, documenting the spatial distribution of climate provides a more holistic measure of understanding the range of cultivar suitability within AVAs. Furthermore, results reveal that GST and GDD are functionally identical but that GST is easier to calculate and overcomes many methodological issues that occur with GDD. The HI and BEDD indices capture the known AVA-wide suitability but need to be further validated in the western U.S.

    Submission No. 1 University: UC Merced Department: Molecular Cell Biology College: Biological sciences Category: Undergraduate Name: Jesselynn LaBelle E‐Mail Address: [email protected] Faculty Mentor: Stephanie Woo Were Human Subjects Used? No Regarding Data Collected, is it Ongoing or Concluded?: Ongoing Presentation Type: Poster Presentation Project Title: TAEL 2.0: An improved optogenetic gene expression system for zebrafish Inducible gene expression systems are valuable tools for studying biological processes. We previously developed an optogenetic gene expression system called TAEL that is optimized for use in zebrafish. When illuminated with blue light, TAEL transcription factors dimerize and activate gene expression downstream of the TAEL‐responsive C120 promoter. By using light as the inducing agent, the TAEL/C120 system overcomes limitations of traditional inducible expression systems by enabling fine spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression. Here, we describe ongoing efforts to improve the TAEL/C120 system. We made modifications to both the TAEL transcriptional activator and the C120 regulatory element, collectively referred to as “TAEL 2.0.” We demonstrate that TAEL 2.0 consistently induces higher levels of reporter gene expression and at a faster rate, but with comparable background and toxicity as the original TAEL system. With these improvements, we were able to create functional stable transgenic lines to express the TAEL 2.0 transcription factor either ubiquitously or in the developing endoderm. We demonstrate that the ubiquitous line in particular can be used to induce expression at late embryonic and larval stages, addressing a major deficiency of the original TAEL system. We believe this improved optogenetic expression system will be a useful resource for the zebrafish community.
