He manages a research program in grape, wine and spirits aroma and flavor chemistry, and teaches courses in grape and wine chemistry and winery operations. In this show we talk all about wine and fire -- topics like:
- Why are there so many fires and will this trend continue in the future?
- Who is studying fire and what has been discovered so far?
- What parts of the vine are affected by fire and what actually damages the grapes?
- What are the remedies and what can we expect to happen in the future with fire research?
A great show with a really smart and easy to understand guest -- important when it's such a complex topic!
