UC Davis students can now bottle and sell their wines made on campus to support scholarships
UC Davis students can sell their own wines made to support scholarships UC Davis students can sell their own wines made to support scholarships UC Davis students can sell their own wines made to support scholarships DAVIS -- For 145 years, UC Davis has helped forge the future of the wine industry from the heart of its Yolo County campus. But now, for the first time, the university is finally allowed to bottle up and sell the wines made by students in its Department of Viticulture and Enology. It took a law change to get there and the creation of the nonprofit Hilgard631 for the state institution to legally sell wine. "That's 12 years in a nutshell. I'm glad we are here, able to celebrate this," said Professor David Block. Wednesday night, the department hosted an event celebrating the first-ever release and sale of the student creations. "They can share it with their friends and families, which is something they couldn't do before. So this is very exciting," said UC Davis head winemaker Leticia Chacon Rodriguez. Dozens of supporters showed up to taste-test the wines Wednesday, lining up after to purchase a bottle. "It's a good sauvignon. I like it. This is from a student?" asked one woman in surprise, tasting a delicious white wine. The magic happens from start to finish at UC Davis. Most of the grapes are grown at the vineyard on campus, and they are then fermented in the winery classroom as the students' visions come to life. Each pour represents a sense of accomplishment for those in the program. "There's a lot of pride and just excitement to share it," said student winemaker Naomi Morales. "If you're interested in the way that art and science collide, consider winemaking." Inside the teaching and research winery, their creations are made over the course of 10 weeks. Before this year, the wines made on campus had no sustainable future. "Unfortunately, before, the wine got just poured down the drain," said Ben Montpetit, chair of the Department of Viticulture and Enology. Now, the department is also able to teach students the business of winemaking too as they learn to design their own labels and sell their wines. It's helping raise a glass the the future for an industry seeing declining sales. "There's classes where they are given the freedom to do what they want and they really push the envelope. New varieties, new ways of making wine, new packaging," said Ben Montpetit. Hilgard631 handles public sales, now allowing the transfer of up to 20,000 gallons of department-made wines. The department bottled roughly 500 gallons of wine to sell for this release. All proceeds from the wine sales will support student scholarships. Bottles can be purchased in person only at the on-campus research winery at 631 Hilgard Rd. in Davis.

Waiting for the Fed All Summer Long
To get John Authers' newsletter delivered directly to your inbox, sign up here. The Federal Reserve might as well take the rest of the summer off and head for the beach. If the sweeping new tariffs are to shift inflation upward, they haven't done it yet. That's the clearest conclusion from the US consumer price inflation data for May, which against expectation showed continuing decline, and nevertheless changed market expectations for the Fed barely at all. May was the first month the Trump 2.0 tariffs were in effect throughout, and yet they had a negligible impact on price rises. That is undeniably good news. But it doesn't disprove that price rises will eventually come, and the data overall give the Fed no reason to jump in either direction. Breaking inflation into its four main components — food and energy, and the remaining goods and services — in our regular chart from the ECAN function on the terminal shows minimal change. Services continue to dominate, energy was negative and food positive. Core goods, the most affected by tariffs, saw inflation tick up, but not to a level that's discernible:

HBM And Emerging Memory Technologies Enable AI Training And Inference
AI During congressional hearing in the House of Representatives' Energy & Commerce Committee Subcommittee of Communication and Technology, Ronnie Vasishta, Senior VP of telecom at Nvidia said that mobile networks will be called upon to support a new kind of traffic—AI traffic. This AI traffic includes the delivery of AI services to the edge, or inferencing at the edge. Such growth in AI data could reverse the general trend towards lower growth in traffic on mobile networks. Many AI-enabled applications will require mobile connectivity including autonomous vehicles, smart glasses, generative AI services and many other applications. He said that the transmission of this massive increase in data needs to be resilient, fit for purpose, and secure. Supporting this creation of data from AI will require large amount of memory, particularly very high bandwidth memory, such as HBM. This will result in great demand for memory that supports AI applications. Micron announced that it is now shipping HBM4 memory to key customers, these are for early qualification efforts. The Micron HBM4 provides up to 2.0TB/s bandwidth and 24GB capacity per 12-high die stack. The company says that their HBM4 uses its 1-beta DRAM node, advanced through silicon via technologies, and has a highly capable built-in self-test. See image below. Micron HBM4 Memory HBM memory consisting of stacks of DRAM die with massively parallel interconnects to provide high bandwidth are combined GPU's such as those from Nvidia. This memory close to the processor allows training and inference of various AI models. The current generation of HBM memory used in current GPUs use HBM3e memory. At the 2025 March GTC in San Jose, Jensen Huang said that Micron HBM memory was being used in some of their GPU platforms. The manufacturers of HBM memories are SK Hynix, Samsung and Micron with SK Hynix and Samsung providing the majority of supply and with Micron coming in third. SK hynix was the first to announce HBM memory in 2013, which was adopted as an industry standard by JEDEC that same year. Samsung followed in 2016 and in 2020 Micron said that it would create its own HBM memory. All of these companies expect to be shipping HBM4 memories in volume by sometime in 2026. Numen, a company involved in magnetic random access memory applications, recently talked about how traditional memories used in AI applications, such as DRAM and SRAM have limitations in power, bandwidth and storage density. They said that processing performance has skyrocketed by 60,000X over the past 20 years but DRAM bandwidth has improved only 100X, creating a 'memory wall.' The company says that its AI Memory Engine is a highly configurable memory subsystem IP that enables significant improvements in power efficiency, performance, intelligence, and endurance. This is not only for Numem's MRAM-based architecture, but also third-party MRAMs, RRAM, PCRAM, and Flash Memory. Numem said that it has developed next-generation MRAM supporting die densities up to 1GB which can deliver SRAM-class performance with up to 2.5X higher memory density in embedded applications and 100X lower standby power consumption. The company says that its solutions are foundry-ready and production-capable today. Coughlin Associates and Objective Analysis in their Deep Look at New Memories report predict that AI and other memory-intensive applications, including the use of AI inference in embedded devices such as smart watches, hearing aids and other applications are already using MRAM, RRAM and other emerging memory technologies will decrease the costs and increase production of these memories. These memories technologies are already available from major semiconductor foundries. They scale to smaller lithographic scaling that DRAM and SRAM and because they are non-volatile, no refreshes are needed and so they consume less power. As a result, these memories allow more memory capacity and lower power consumption in space and power constrained environments. MRAM and RRAM are also being built into industrial, enterprise and data center applications. The figure below shows our projections for replacement of traditional memories, SRAM, DRAM, NOR and NAND Flash memory by these emerging memories. NOR and SRAM, in particular, for embedded memories are projected to be replaced by these new memories within the next decade as part of a future $100B memory market. Projected replacement of conventional memories with new memories AI will generate increased demand for memory to support training and inference. It will also increase the demand for data over mobile networks. This will drive demand for HBM memory but also increase demand for new emerging memory technologies.
