The Science & Technology of Tasting Wine

What actually happens when we taste something as complex as wine? Why are people's perceptions of wines so different? These questions and many more will be explored in this new wine class offered by Jason Kallsen, esteemed and popular wine and culture educator.

The class will be held in the Dale Shephard Room at the Campus Club - Mondays at 6:30 on September 29, October 6, 13, 20.

ACUC Spotlight
The University Club - University of Wisconsin Madison

Located at the foot of State Street and fronting Library Mall, the University Club has been a focal point of the campus since President Martin Van Hise's call in 1906 for a faculty club to promote fellowship in the campus community. From its inception, the University Club has played a significant role in the history of the University and has been a catalyst in the reaffirmation of the old Wisconsin values of non-discrimination and fair play. It remains to this day a symbol of faculty and staff collegiality.

 




 

Riverbend Farm Newsletter

Where does the Campus Club get our wonderful fresh ingredients? Some come from Riverbend Farm. Read the lates from Greg Reynolds.

More beautiful weather, and we did get some rain this week. Tuesday and Wednesday night we got 1 7/8”” of rain. It was great. It did rain hard enough that there was a little soil washing on the field road, but that was about it. The green and radishes were filthy on Thursday, even after washing them twice.
