Post-doctoral researcher Mark Krasnow requests CERA's help with a crop-thinning trial. The trial compares thinning at veraison with leaving the vines untouched. Whether or not you thin in your vineyards, you can thin/not-thin 20 vines selected at random, can't you?

Hey CERA,
Let's put the "R" back in CERA! UC-Davis professor Linda Bisson has asked for our help with a research project on native fermentations. If you think you can participate, please let me know. This project has relevance for all the committees, so let's get as much participation as we can.
I'll talk about this further at the annual meeting on July 10, too. Feel free to ask any questions here, via email vp@cerawine.com or at the Annual Meeting.

> My question is as follows.... Has anyone ever used "Brand" lab products? They recently displayed bottle top burets (non corrosive to iodine) and electronic repeating pipettors at the Managing the Winery Workshop. If so, can you please describe the product you use, and what you think of "Brand" equipment?
Alonzo Cabell of Ashland Chemical will be talking about Chlorine Dioxide at our next Micro Meeting.
Alonzo has given me a FAQ handout that covers many general questions that I can E-mail to anyone that is interested. This will allow him to talk/discuss more in depth questions during our meeting.

PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN TASTING GLASESS. Any samples or trials people would like to share are welcome. Remember to bring a bottle of wine to each meeting to thank our host.
Anyone who still needs to pay CERA dues for 2009 may leave a check with me. Membership forms and confidentiality agreements also need to be re-submitted each year. Any prospective members should also bring a resume to submit with their membership forms.
The CL-10 Instrument has several enzyme kits to be run with the instrument. As this kit is instrument-based, we have quite a few specialized kits that will allow you to simultaneously test for multiple parameters at the same time from the same sample. For example, our Combi Test kit (used with the CL-10 instrument) will allow you to test for pH, total acidity and quantification of medium (0.4-72 g/l) or high (72-270 g/L) levels of glucose+fructose in wine and must.
