Dear RMI Supporter,
In these unprecedented times, the safety of our community is our top priority. In accordance with recent state orders as well as the current UC Davis campus closure, the Robert Mondavi Institute is postponing all of our spring talks and events.
We are still planning lectures on the topics of mapping grapevine genomes, the addictive properties of sugary drinks, the future of popular varietal wines in a changing climate, and even our annual fundraiser TASTE, which raised almost $10,000 last year for enhancements to the UC Davis Good Life Garden—all dates are currently TBA.
While we work remotely, we will investigate presenting these lectures via livestreaming. In the meantime, I invite you to peruse our current library of lecture videos, as well as to follow us on Facebook where we are continuing to post news and updates about the institute and UC Davis food and beverage experts. (We are also on Instagram, check us out!)
Already this year we have presented a Walt Klenz Wine Business Speakers Series talk, and Unrivaled: California’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Highlights from both are below and include links to a video of each lecture.
We hope that you are able to spend time with your loved ones through this stressful time, and that you stay safe and healthy.
Andrew Waterhouse
Director, Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science
Professor, Department of Viticulture and Enology
