um...so...what's oenology?

Who knew an MBA program could be this fun?

e·nol·o·gy also oe·nol·o·gy   

(ē-nŏl'ə-jē)     n.  The study of wine and the making of wine; viticulture.

How cool is it that I get to learn about and taste wine...during class hours!  So far, we've had two classes and have tasted 8 different wines - amazing.  Our professor is incredibly passionate about wine thus making the class so enjoyable.  He's a wine journalist and educator and knows anything and everything you'll ever want to know about wine.
