About the Talk: Dr. Simpson's talk will include an overview of wine and wine making and more detailed descriptions of the chemical composition of grapes and wine, laboratory methods for analysis of grapes and wines, sensory and organoleptic methods used for wine, the role of tannin and other phenolic compounds in wine, and some potential health aspects of wine. There will be a "component analysis" in which the audience will be given a reference wine sample with known levels of components such as acid, sugar, alcohol, etc. and "unknown" samples in which one or more components have been increased by a known increment. During a "varietal analysis" a representative number of white and red wines will be compared.
