"I chose to study at UC Davis because of the professors who teach here. I was impressed by the quality and volume of journal articles they have published through the years using the old winery and small research laboratories. With the completion of the new winery and lab space, I knew the possibilities for research were limitless. The professors continue to utilize their elaborate industry network to provide opportunities for students, facilitating relevant research projects that shed light on the mysteries of viticulture and enology. The level of curiosity here is inspiring." - Aaron Whitlatch, Graduate Student
