June through December 2008 - Song of the Vine: History of Wine
Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, Carl A. Kroch Library
9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m, Monday-Friday; 1:00-5:00 pm., Saturday
http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/ewga/
The exhibition will explore the origins of viticulture in Europe and the development of wine making in America, as well as the cultural movements and legislative acts that have shaped the nation's complex relationship with alcohol, such as the temperance movement and Prohibition. Documents recently acquired for the Wine & Grape Archive will tell the story of the growth of the New York State wine industry, from America's oldest wineries to today's “Uncork NY” advertising campaign. Other archival materials will highlight Cornell's extensive contributions to the development of new grape varieties through the work of the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station. The exhibition is free and open to the public. For information on parking on the Cornell campus, please see http://www.parking.cornell.edu/tms3_visitor.html.
August 2, 2008 – Wine
Day in Cooperation with Niagara
University’s Community Education
Dept.
Wine Day is an educational and fun program that
provides all the information you need about wine, wine appreciation
and the great area of wine making in Niagara County. Then with
all the knowledge you gave gained in the morning sessions, you’ll
be on your own to visit all the wineries associated with the Niagara
Wine Trail. Visit as many as you want or take a week, 2 weeks or
whatever you need to, now that you have the educational tools to
make it fun and “fruitful”. T-shirts, wine glasses
and an opportunity for a grand prize will be included.
Detailed information will be coming soon, but contact Niagara
University now to get on the mailing list for WINE DAY.
