Daily Wine Tidbits-Wine Ed.


There is actually a college major in the field of studying wine...why didn't I know this about 11 years ago? In fact, early California winemakers sent their children to study oenology at Geisenham in Germany or Bordeaux, France. This was when it was thought that only the Europeans knew how to make wine. However, today, many European winemakers send their children to the University of California at Davis or Fresno State University in California. In 1966, the University of California at Davis only graduated 5 students from the oenology department, and today there is a waiting list of students from all over the world! Hard to imagine!
