Panel Experts

PanelExperts

I have been asking people related to the wine world in Spain. I have found some interested in this proyect:

Santiago Martinez Ochoa, winemaker from the region La Marina Alta, he is also involved in the production of the wines in Celler L'Alter De Benimaquia.

Juan Tarrega, professor and artist, his inspiration comes from grapevines and wine, his blog
cepaypincel.blogspot.com

Josh Singer, one of the greatest professors I found here in SFSU.

I have a couple more that I would like to add to my panel if it's possible:
Angel Vives, owner of the prestigious hotel and restaurant in La Marina Alta, http://www.castelldelasolana.es/
Pilar Salillas, winemaker in Tarragona, Spain, her winery exports to San Francisco.

One characteristic that all share is their passion for wine. I think all of them can contribute with different ideas and knowledge that can enrich this project so much.

I also want to find somebody here in San Francisco in a wine store (this is my mission for this weekend). Good luck!

Research difficulties

Hello everybody! How is the research going? After starting mine, I discovered that some of the thesis and projects, I am interested, are in format microfiche. After email Darlene, she told me that we can order them from the library and that they still have the machine to read and print them. Just letting you know in case you are experiencing the same problem.

Wine

Wine, wine, wine! This is what I love!! From the grapevine to the complicate process of elaboration; the marketing, design and sale of this fabulous good. This blog is the diary of my final project (hopefully) for my DAI 505 class. Welcome! Please, if you are going to follow my blog I strongly recommend a glass of wine while reading.

Thanks
