Our friends at the Center for the Study of the Senses are holding their second London Experimental Oenology Seminar (LEOS) ( http://experimentaloenology.wordpress.com)
The Seminar series aim at bringing together oenologists, wine-professionals and academics to focus on specific aspects of wine-tasting and flavour experience. The monthly seminar will be organised around a tutored wine-tasting. In recent years, many innovative ways of measuring and understanding the perception of wine have been developed and the seminar and tasting will draw on them to address specific puzzles or controversies in oenology - like the role of expertise, language, olfaction, analytic tasting, preferences, texture-perception, temperature, grape maturity, oak, etc. in determining our complex flavour experience of wine.
The next seminar will take place on October 8th, in Senate House (University of London, Malet Street, room to be confirmed) from 6.30pm to 8pm and be led by psychologist Charles Spence (Oxford) who is famous for his work on flavour perception, as well as for winning the Ig-nobel prize for his experiment on the sonic crisps and doing some experiments with Heston Blumenthal at the Fat Duck. He recently contributed a series of papers to the World of Fine Wine, and will be talking : What is wine expertise?
