On Reserve's Parting Words Before a Trip to

Champagne, France

by Lindsey A. Zahn on May 31, 2011

On Reserve entries will soon pause for several weeks as I explore the

great wine region of Champagne, France and attend the 2011 Wine

and Law Program. Whereas On Reserve entries may stop shortly, my

curiosity with respect to wine and the law will not cease even for a

moment while I am abroad; I will return with more stories to share and

an excellent education in wine and the law. Additionally, On Reserve

will feature its first guest author, who will recount her time at the U.C.

Davis Wine and Law Conference.

Before I part, however, I would like to share with all of you an

incredible accomplishment that I am very excited about. During this

last year of law school, I wrote a Note, Australia Corked its Champagne

and So Should We: Enforcing Stricter Protections of Semi-Generic Wines in

the United States, on wine and aspects of intellectual property and

international wine trade. I submitted my Note to the Trandafir Writing

Competition for international business law and it won the 2010-2011

Trandafir International Business Writing Competition. My Note will be

published in the twenty-first volume of the University of Iowa's

Transnational Law & Contemporary Problems. Whereas I knew about this

great honor several weeks ago, the University of Iowa just made a

public announcement on its website, accessible at Trandafir Writing

Competition 2010-2011 Competition Winner. Announcing this on the

blog could not come at a more appropriate time, as On Reserve is just

one entry shy of its 100th entry.

 

It has been a wonderful year with On Reserve and I look forward to

many more years, sharing wine law information with all of you! Thank

you for your incredible support and interest throughout the last year

and I look forward to returning from France with much material to

cover.
