I would like to Wthank People’s United Bank, who is not only our title sponsor tonight, but also an ongoing partner of Easterseals throughout the year. I would also like to thank our presenting partner, the New Hampshire State Liquor Commission, for their continued support of Easterseals programs, as well as the wine brokers, suppliers and local restaurants for striving to make tonight’s event such a suc- cess. It takes an entire community to ensure that our Family Centered Early Supports and Services program can provide the necessary support to our children during those first critical years of life. Family Centered Early Supports and Services (ESS) are offered to children from birth to age three who have an established condition or who are experiencing or at risk for a delay in their cognitive, motor, communication, or social and emotional development. Much of who we become is rooted in the early years. Our ESS staff utilize each child’s natural curiosity to create experiences in their home or a community setting that enhance growth and development in partnership with their family and caregivers. A special thank you to the hardworking, dedicated mem- bers of the Winter Wine Spectacular committee and vol- unteers. The money raised at this very special Wine Week event will allow us to continue to make a profound differ- ence in the lives of young children. After 28 years in the nonprofit sector, I continue to be amazed at the kindness and generosity that is given to “Easterseals gave us the hope and reassurance that, if you those in need not only at Easterseals, but in all aspects take small steps, eventually anything is possible.” of the sector.

We are proud to once again be partnering with Easterseals New Hampshire and celebrating with 1,600 Tspectacular wines, while raising critical funding for an organization that provides such meaningful and impactful services throughout the state. The Winter Wine Spectacular is one of the most highly anticipated events of the year, and has become one of the premier wine events in the entire country. More than 60 international wine personalities, delicious food from some of New Hampshire’s best restaurants and an opportunity to experience some of the best wines in the world make this event a can’t-miss celebration. It’s a tremendous opportunity for consumers to learn about and enjoy wine responsibly. The Winter Wine Spectacular is the culmination of New Hampshire Wine Week, which is New England’s ultimate celebration of wine. The weeklong series of events was created in 2005 to provide customers the opportunity to sample some of the 7,000 wines available at New Hampshire’s 77 Liquor & Wine Outlets, while also giving them the chance to meet nationally and internationally acclaimed winemakers at dozens of events throughout the state. During this past week, the biggest names in the wine world participated in intimate wine dinners, bottle signings, wine tastings and one-of-a-kind seminars. New Hampshire Wine Week and the Winter Wine Spectacular, together with the best prices and unmatched shopping convenience, have helped New Hampshire stand out in the wine world. In fact, the Washington Post called New Hampshire “the best state in America for wine drinkers,” after it scored an A+ on the American Wine Consumer Coalition’s report card. The secret is out: New Hampshire is serious about wine! While wine is the primary focus, tonight’s event has a deeper meaning. As one of Easterseals New Hampshire’s signature fundraisers, the Winter Wine Spectacular raises critical funds to support the organization’s statewide early intervention program, providing much-needed services and therapy for hundreds of children ages birth to three years with a variety of developmental delays and physical disabilities. Thanks to your help, the Winter Wine Spectacular has raised over $2 million for Easterseals New Hampshire since it launched in 2002. Please ask questions of the fascinating personalities in attendance. Learn about what drives their passion and take the time to discover new and exciting wines. This is your opportunity to sample a vast variety of wines and find those that are perfect for you to purchase. Be sure to try the delicious culinary samplings from New Hampshire’s best restaurants and take a chance at some silent auction prizes. Most importantly, please have a safe and enjoyable evening.

  • Engineering Wine
    Engineering Wine Submitted to Dr. Miguel Bagajewicz May 6, 2006 Susan L. Kerr Michael T. Frow Executive Summary A new methodology for the development of new products is applied to winemaking. A consumer preference function is developed that allows data generated by market analysis to be related to wine properties. These wine properties are easily measured throughout the winemaking process and can be manipulated by the producer at negligible cost. The manipulation of these variables affects the consumer’s satisfaction obtained from the enjoyment of wine. The most influential factor is identified to be that of toasting. Through incorporation of this consumer function, a demand model is formed that allows for the manipulation in selling price. Based on the consumer and the pricing models, a profit maximization model is formed. This function shows the characteristics of wine to target the selling price and capacity of the manufacturing plant simultaneously. Wine is evaluated by the consumer with the following characteristics: • Clarity • Color • Bouquet • Acidity • Sweetness • Bitterness • Body/Texture • Finish/Aftertaste Each of these characteristics is evaluated individually by the consumer’s level of satisfaction attained. Once the utility of the consumer is identified, these characteristics are evaluated by their relation to physical attributes that can be manipulated throughout the process at a minimal cost. Multiplied by weights pre-determined by the consumer’s ranking of priority, the summation of the products of each attribute and their corresponding weights form the consumer’s overall utility function. The value of satisfaction of the consumer is then compared to that of the competition, forming the superiority function that governs the pricing model.

The data upon which the analysis rests was collected through participant observation as well as qualitative interviews and surveys. The first chapter consists of a brief overview of traditional foodways in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as a summary of the current state of the tourism industry. As well, the methodology which underpins the study is presented. Chapter two examines the historical origins of culinary tourism and the development of the idea in the Canadian context. The chapter ends with a description of Newfoundland and Labrador's current culinary marketing campaign, "A Taste of Newfoundland and Labrador." With particular attention to folklore scholarship, the course of academic attention to foodways and tourism, both separately and in tandem, is documented in chapter three. The second part of the thesis consists of three case studies. Chapter four examines the uses of seal flipper pie in hegemonic discourse about the province and its culture. Fried foods, specifically fried fish, potatoes and cod tongues, provide the starting point for a discussion of changing attitudes toward food, health and the obligations of citizenry in chapter five.

  • Annual Report July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021
    Annual Report July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021 Viticulture and Enology programs for the Colorado Wine Industry PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS Horst Caspari1, Peter Bennett Goble2, Stephen Menke1, Russ Schumacher2, Adam Wright1 COLLABORATING INSTITUTIONS • Colorado Department of Agriculture • The Colorado Wine Industry Development Board • Colorado State University Summary The majority of the work performed during the reporting period included seasonal vineyard tasks such as vine training, canopy management, crop thinning, harvest, preparing vineyards for dormant season, bud cold hardiness evaluations, data entry and analysis, and the annual Colorado Grape Grower Survey. Most of the vineyard work was performed by CSU staff at WCRC, two student interns (one from Colorado State University and one from Western Colorado Community College), and seasonal temporary staff at WCRC. In addition to small-scale wine lots produced from cultivar trials two larger scale enological trials were conducted in collaboration with two Grand Valley wineries (Centennial Cellars, Peachfork Orchards and Vineyards). One trial evaluated the effect of different timings of tannin additions on the sensory characteristics of Marquette wines. The second collaborative trial explored the potential of several novel yeasts to enhance the varietal characteristics of wine made from two aromatic Vitis vinifera cultivars – Gewürztraminer and Viognier. Weather conditions in the Grand Valley were warmer than average from July to November, but slightly below average in December. August was the warmest since record- keeping began at the Western Colorado Research Center – Orchard Mesa (WCRC-OM) in 1964. A season-ending killing frost occurred on October 26 for most growing areas in Western Colorado. Vine development and crop ripening was very early in 2020, due to the above- average temperatures from before bud break to late October.

Reasons for this bias likely include hybrid cultivars being perceived as lower quality than European cultivars, lack of knowledge of available hybrid cultivars, personal preference, and misinformation.
