Winemakers Technical Exchange - May 5th 8.30AM PST
Due to the constraints imposed to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus, we maintain our Winemakers Technical Exchange, as planned May 5th, but as online webinar version. We decided to maintain the tasting included by providing tasting kits, i.e. samples of the featured wines. They will be ready for pick-up in Santa Rosa, at our main office, and in Paso Robles at Chamisal Vineyards. For wineries away from these pick-up locations, please contact us. Sign-ups will close April 28th in order to ensure that tasting kits are made readily available.
PROGRAM:
Increasing public concern with sulfite content in wine as well as wine quality loss by high sulfite additions have created the need for new winemaking tools and practices to reduce sulfite use. SO2 has been one of the most commonly used wine additives since few centuries for its antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Finding alternatives while keeping high quality wines is a challenge for the wine industry.
