The Winery Downstairs

It’s that time of year again, when a new crush of students starts crushing grapes. The Davis Enterprise has a front page story today about the wine production class that takes place in the teaching winery next to Wickson Hall, the building where I work famous as the home of the UC Davis viticulture and enology department. It’s neat seeing the forklift moving around large bins of grapes when I come cycling in each morning.

I can’t say I’ve ever had any of their wine, but we in Wickson Hall have a special dispensation to have alcoholic beverages without a campus permit. This comes in handy for those champagne-and-cake office celebrations.
