A Virtual Tasting of New Jersey Blaufränkisch Wines
Wines from five wineries show stylistic variations between two regions May 06, 2021
One positive outcome from this past year’s pandemic has been the implementation of virtual wine tastings that can bring speakers and attendees together from many different locations to experience a selection of wines. The Garden State Wine Growers Association (GSWGA) took advantage of this concept and scheduled a tasting of five New Jersey Blaufränkisch wines on April 30. Tom Cosentino, executive director of the GSWGA, asked the noted Swiss grape geneticist, Dr. José Vouillamoz, to introduce this different grape variety. Vouillamoz trained under Dr. Carole Meredith at the University of California, Davis and specializes in the origin and parentage of grape varieties through DNA profiling. He is also noted for co-authoring the 2012 edition of Wine Grapes with Jancis Robinson and Julia Harding.

THE IMPACTS OF COVID-19
What is the current status of the Covid-19 pandemic and its effects upon the world of wine from the vineyard to the consumer? Which methods are being applied to minimize viral exposure and transmission at the workplace and with customers? What are repercussions for olfactory analysis, everyday tasting and enjoyment, and what are practical methods of addressing these problems? What is the status of vaccination processes with a look to its impact on an approximate return to a certain normality?
