Credits for the photos from the top of the page to here:  The first two were taken by Shirley Schwarz.  The record of Prof. Marsilio and me is by her husband Patrick McIntyre.  Maddy’s professional shoot took place in the studio of JRP Bay Area.  The vast majority of the other family photos are by Lisa Yang (most of the exceptions being when she is in the picture, so that another family member took the shot).

The following photos were taken at the “In Vino Veritas” Symposium, sponsored by CEMERS at Binghamton University, Binghamton, NY, April 24-25, 2009 (read the sponsor’s and conference's full titles as well as the program here).

At the Friday night dinner (clockwise): me, Prof. Emerita and Novelist Florence Weinberg (Trinity Univ.), Prof. and Poet Martin Bidney (Binghamton), Prof. Julia Kisacky (Baylor), and Kathleen McGlone (John Carroll Univ.); photo: CEMERS

At the Saturday lunch al fresco, Prof. Annetta Alexandridis (Cornell) and I listen to Prof. Allen Grieco (The Harvard Centre for Italian Renaissance Studies - Villa I Tatti, with his back turned to the camera) expound; photo: CEMERS

At the Saturday evening wine-tasting, Alexander Conison (Michigan), Gilat Ben-Dor (Renaissance Wine Academy) and I check out some New York State Chardonnays and Rieslings; photo: CEMERS

At the Saturday closing banquet, we contemplate an uneaten shrimp cocktail (foreground); seated: me, Prof. Weinberg again, Prof. Dora Polachek (Binghamton), and Prof. Kathleen Perry Long (Cornell); standing: Francesca Canadé Sautman (Hunter College and The Graduate Center, CUNY) and Prof. Kisacky again; photo: Gilat Ben-Dor

CEMERS Director Prof. Karen-edis Barzman (with red hair at the right) and all the rest of us (I’m in the back somewhere) on the same occasion; photo: Gilat Ben-Dor

Actually, most of the symposium was concerned with what Prof. Barzman happily called the “theory” of wine, whereas the first six photos above pretty much involve its “practice”; but to be fair, here is an example of the former: she calls on a person with a question for the afore-mentioned Prof. Grieco after his keynote presentation on the Friday evening; photo: CEMERS
