Cornell’s Viticulture and Enology (V&E) Program now publishes a quarterly e-newsletter called “Appellation Cornell.” The second issue of the newsletter was published in April. Appellation Cornell showcases Cornell research in viticulture and enology, and includes industry news briefs, news links and student and faculty profiles. A more complete description of the newsletter, including subscription information, can be found here: http://www.cals.cornell.edu/cals/grapesandwine/appellation-cornell/
Among the links included in the April issue of Appellation Cornell is an excellent report from Wine Spectator Online describing the immediate impact Cornell’s Viticulture and Enology Program is having on the Finger Lakes wine industry (photo above is of Keuka Lake in the Finger Lakes). The article quotes horticulture professor Ian Merwin as saying “Our curriculum is comprehensive and we intend to be one of the top programs in this country.” Agriculture & Life Sciences dean, Dr. Susan Henry, concludes the article by noting, “We’re the only Ivy League school with an undergraduate enology and viticulture degree, and also the only school east of the Rockies with this program…And that has a certain panache to it.”
