First crush at the WSC
The WSU V&E program completed a successful first crush at their new Wine Science Center, making 195 wines and processing 23 tons of grapes. Three undergraduate students worked in the winery during the crush, and a new assistant winemaker was hired.
This successful crush provided material for numerous ongoing research projects and will even help a few new projects get started.
Graduation
Several V&E students went through winter commencement at WSU, both in Pullman and in Tri-Cities. Congratulations to all of our graduates and good luck as you pursue your careers. Cheers!
