W i n e s & V i n e s J U n e 2 0 1 4 37 ogy and mechanized management to address market demands in New York." The fun stuff Conference attendees will have two opportunities to taste wines from Texas and the wider eastern region. On June 24, the ASEV-Eastern Section will hold a "Wines of the East" reception featuring wines from across the Eastern region and, as entertainment, the fourth annual Oenolympics, in which teams of students from various viticulture and enology pro- grams across the country compete in a range of wine-related tasks. In past years, under the guidance of Dr. Mansfield, stu- dents have fired off Champagne corks at a bull's-eye target, acted out different trel- lis systems and tried to guess the grape variety and state of origin after sipping wines while blindfolded. The competition this year will be open to students from the entire ASEV. A Texas regional wine reception will take place June 25. This will be an oppor- tunity to taste regional wines from the Texas Hill Country and Texas High Plains AVAs. On June 26, a student and industry mixer will include the announcement of the best student presentation awards and the recognition of the AJEV best paper recipients and the scholarship award recipients. The Eastern Section will pres- ent its best student presentation awards, the life achievement/merit award and the scholarship award recipients.
