These 1973 lectures by UC Davis Professor Maynard Amerine, one of the most significant wine scientists in the past century, introduce sensory evaluation to students in the viticulture and enology program.
Amerine is widely considered the father of modern wine sensory evaluation. Under his mentorship, two generations of UC Davis students learned how to evaluate wine according to appearance, flavor and aroma. Many became winemakers and some achieved prominence and acclaim in the California wine industry.

Customer Reviews
Great lectures. Amazing time piece.
I loved this lecture series. Amazing how things have changed over times but so many things are constant. The subtle prejudice is so entertaining as well, especially against Italian wines. Can we get more of them?
