Astrid Buica is a researcher in Oenology specialized in Analytical Chemistry applied to wine and related matrices, coordinator of Analytical activities and manager of the Analytical Laboratory in the Department of Viticulture and Oenology at the Stellenbosch University, South Africa. Dr Buica dedicates most of her time to the Analytical activities and laboratory in the Department, developing methods for routine analysis of wine and related matrices. In the recent years, she has shifted her focus to include Sensory Science in her work, to bring together these two fields relevant to Wine Sciences. Most of her projects have an important Sensory and Analytical component to them, in an effort to give a more comprehensive view to the evaluation of wine. As such, she delved into untargeted analyses /information-rich techniques and rapid sensory methods for rapid wine profiling, and into the fields of Chemometrics and Data Fusion.

University of California, Davis (UCD) professor and geneticist Dr. Andrew Walker will retire June 29 after more than 30 years on the Department of Viticulture and Enology faculty and as a winegrape breeder. Given the long-term nature of the grape breeding process, it s not surprising that some of Walker s more significant breeding projects came to fruition later in his career the release of five nematode resistant rootstocks in 2009, and the 2020 official release of five new winegrape varieties resistant to Pierce s Disease (PD). Reflecting the reality of his work, Walker titled one of his recent lectures, 30+ Years of Grape Breeding and Just Getting Started. With additional winegrape cultivars in development in the Walker Lab being bred for both PD resistance and powdery mildew resistance, important new grapevine materials will continue to become available well after he retires.
