Fundamentals of Modern Wine Chemistry with Clark Smith

This seminar is being offered at an extremely low cost to you through a sponsorship with the Colorado Wine Industry Development Board. We encourage you to take advantage of this rare opportunity to learn from one of California’s most widely respected winemakers Clark Smith, author of Postmodern Winemaking

Offered from 1986-2008 at UC Davis as an extension short course, this class has consistently received top evaluations from over 4,000 attendees. Its original intention, to summarize the basics of a U.C. Davis Enology education, is now supplemented by emerging postmodern winemaking ideas. Designed to benefit the home winemaker as well as professionals at all levels, the course requires a general knowledge of winemaking basics, but does not demand a formal knowledge of chemistry.

This popular two-day program provides insights into the interplay of chemical reactions that occur in wine and in winemaking, establishing the necessary background for informed decisions on wine processing. This is a course in winemaking theory and practice, and does not provide training in methods of wine analysis.

This 2-day seminar is just $200 (a huge value!) and includes conference supplies, a wine tasting and lunch each day.
