Cornell Teaches Cool Climate Winemaking
Filed under: Wine
If you want to get a top flight enology education, UC Davis is no longer your only choice. Cornell University has had a grape-breeding program since the late 1800s but as Wine Spectator reports, Cornell didn't create a full undergraduate enology and viticulture curriculum until the last few years. Dr. Susan Henry, the dean of Agriculture and Life Sciences who joined the school in 2000, and her husband are interested in wine and shortly after her move to the school she met several of the area's winemakers. Dr. Henry saw that there was a chance to develop a program that dealt with cooler climate enology and viticulture and could work with the growing New York wine culture.Cornell University has opened a teaching winery near the campus and there is also a seven-acre teaching vineyard on the eastern side of Cayuga Lake. Students can also opt for internships in the region. The four-year degree program offers a small group of undergraduates a complete wine education with Ivy League cachet.
For those interested in testing out what Cornell has to offer in a less permanent way the School of Continuing Education and Summer Sessions offers Cornell University Viticulture and Enology Experience (CUVEE), a program on the science of grape growing and wine making that will run July 19-23, 2010. The program will include College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Viticulture and Enology Program faculty members with winery owners, vineyard managers, grape growers, winemakers, and others. Students will study viticulture and the importance of microbiology in winemaking as well as hands-on practice working vines and making wine.
