I eventu- ally opened my own enology lab in Provence. How did you end up in California at the Mondavi Winery? I was traveling in the U.S. in 1978 to learn more about winemaking, because the talk in Europe was that California was an innovative area trying new winemaking ideas. There I met [Robert] Mondavi. He was a superstar. I soon began working in the lab at Mondavi as an enologist. You have talked about Robert Mondavi’s holistic approach to winemaking. What do you mean by that? He was extremely respectful of nature, people, and wine. When Mr. Mondavi was growing his grapes, he was seeing nature. Employees were expected to balance vineyard management with the forest around it, along with the river, the streams, and the insects. At the winery, he wanted both the employees and the wine to be treated with respect. He carried that same compre- hensive vision into the kitchen, then to the table. It gave his year’s honorary chair, Genevieve Janssens, me a total understanding of why we make wine and how is the Director of Winemaking at Napa Valley’s to do it well.

  • Austrian Wines AUSTRIAN WINE with ASIAN Cuisines Discover Europe’S Best Kept Secret!
    guide to AustriAn Wines AUSTRIAN WINE WITH ASIAN CUISINES Discover EuRope’S Best Kept Secret! Austria is home to some of the most famous musicians in the world: Mozart, Schubert, Strauss, Liszt and others. It also offers a rich cultural heritage, the Imperial Palace in Vienna, palaces and castles around the country – all situated in one of the cleanest environments that also has the clearest waters, right in the centre of Europe. Welcome to Austria! We would like to invite you to Austria, enjoy our culture and relax in the city or in the mountains. Austria can offer so much. We are especially proud of our wine industry, which has more than a few thousand years of history. Today, it is also one of the most dynamic wine industries in the world. Situated at the same latitude as Burgundy in France (47-48°north) we are able to produce one of the finest white and most elegant red wines of the world. Besides international grape varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and more… we are also extremely proud of our own indigenous varieties – Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Rotgipfler, Zweigelt, St. Laurent and Blaufränkisch. Due to our climate and the varieties, our wines are amazing food companions with many dishes. This includes classical European cuisine as well as most of the Asian dishes, whether from China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia or other countries in the region. Many restaurants in Singapore have discovered these unique wines and have introduced a good range of our national treasures in their wine lists.

  • Chardonnay’ on 4 Rootstocks Grown in Western Colorado
    Evaluation of 35 Wine Grape Cultivars and ‘Chardonnay’ on 4 Rootstocks Grown in Western Colorado R. A. Hamman, Jr.1 and I. E. Dami2 Introduction Wine grape performance is influenced by climatic conditions during each growing season. Evaluating the performance by measuring growth and fruit composition parameters of cultivars grown in western Colorado is extremely helpful to Colorado wine grape growers when deciding what cultivar to plant. Interest in western Colorado’s potential to commercially produce wine grapes continues to increase. Production has grown from less than 20 acres in 1980 to over 350 acres in 1997. Vineyards are being planted at a rate of approximately 25-30 acres per year. These vineyards are being planted in various locations throughout western Colorado often where commercial grape production has never occurred. The topography of these locations varies enough to dramatically influence microclimates and thus fruit quality and production. The following report is intended to provide growers with 1997 performance characteristics of 35 cultivars and one cultivar Chardonnay clone104 grafted to four rootstocks grown at the Orchard Mesa Research Center in Grand Junction, CO. 1Viticulturist.

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2013, LXI, No. 7, pp. 2669–2675 Wine tourism development and the resulting formation of regional strategic alliances in the form of clusters may lead to increasing the competitiveness of wineries in South Moravia in the southeastern part of the Czech Republic. The main research objective of this paper was to fi nd potential for wine tourism development and creating a plan for newly formed strategic alliance coordinating services off er all wineries in the region. This study describes the potential to off er services and products of wine growing areas in South Moravia region, suitable for promotion off ers wine tourism destinations and services. In principle, it is used the calculation for the establishment of the wine cluster according to Porter’s formula, and was designed by concentration coeffi cient of vineyards for wine cluster formation, which is based on the unique and specifi c conditions of the wine region of South Moravia. To achieve the objective of the study was conducted marketing research data collection and mapping current events and activities taking place in the wine-growing region of Moravia, promoting or off ering specifi c local products and services associated with gastronomy and wine. The dynamic development of the wine category, major changes in market and consumer demand are the main causes for the formation of associations of small and medium-sized wineries.
