The Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Vintage

There is no school of viticulture at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, no syllabus for future sommeliers. But raise a glass and you may find your favourite grapes have a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s connection you might not have expected.

In fact, we found a remarkable number of alumni have embarked on careers as vineyard owners or wine experts and, drawing on their Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s education in science, law, and even film production, they have uncorked tremendous success. From the lush vineyards of British Columbia카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Okanagan to the volcanic rock and marine sediment of Oregon카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Willamette Valley, and from the new ideas forming in Prince Edward County in Ontario to the centuries-old traditions of Europe, these alumni are making an impact on the wine industry around the world.

We talked to six alumni about their career paths, how their time at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s influenced their work with wine, and what they카지노 게임 컬렉션�d recommend you pour for your next alumni get-together.

Alumnus: Anthony Van Nice, MBA카지노 게임 컬렉션�10
Place: Willamette Valley and Dundee Hills, Oregon, U.S.

For many alumni, getting into grapes was the furthest thing from their minds when they started at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s. However, that카지노 게임 컬렉션�s not the case with Anthony Van Nice.

Mr. Van Nice already had a decade of experience in the wine industry when he enrolled in the Cornell-Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s MBA program.

Balancing a busy schedule is second nature to Mr. Van Nice. He first pondered a career in wine during a study-abroad program in Mendoza, Argentina. When he returned home to Oregon, he soon landed a job as a 카지노 게임 컬렉션�cellar rat카지노 게임 컬렉션� 카지노 게임 컬렉션� an affectionate term for an employee who scurries around doing varied and often dirty work. The job is about as glamorous as the name suggests, and Mr. Van Nice was filling barrels, dragging hoses, and cleaning tanks. But it was time well spent. Soon, he was travelling to work harvests in California, Australia, New Zealand, and France.

That global experience helped him nurture Oregon카지노 게임 컬렉션�s wine scene. Mr. Van Nice recalls that when he arrived in Willamette Valley in the early 1990s, it was still a very young wine region, with the original wine pioneers doing everything from driving tractors to keeping track of the books. The industry soon matured but there was plenty of space to grow.

Even as the industry grew more sophisticated, he says it 카지노 게임 컬렉션�felt as if it was still underdeveloped in the areas of strategy, management, and finance 카지노 게임 컬렉션� I felt like the skills I could develop in the Cornell-Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s MBA would be valuable to the growing Willamette Valley wine industry.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

The program was a good fit for someone already busy in a management role, as the teleconference classes and short but intense sessions let Mr. Van Nice study and work concurrently. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�It was delivered in a way that made it possible to maintain your career during the week, attend classes on weekends, and attend periodic in-person sessions on the two campuses,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says.

Today, he is the managing partner and a part owner of Oregon카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Real Nice Winemakers, president of Soléna Estate Winery, and managing partner and co-owner (with his wife, Lindsay Van Nice) of the Woodshed Wine Company.

For all his years in the industry, Mr. Van Nice hasn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t lost sight of his early roots as a cellar rat.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Despite advances in technology, wine is still an agricultural product at heart. A bottle of wine represents the culmination of a lot of hard work by scores of people in the vineyards and cellars. It has been a magical journey for me.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Wine recommendation

Mr. Van Nice says he카지노 게임 컬렉션�d love his fellow alumni to try a bottle of by Real Nice Winemakers to get a literal taste of that magical journey. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�They call Pinot Noir the heartbreak grape because it can be so challenging. When it is done well it can be ethereal, but when things go wrong, disaster looms. It is why it attracts an obsessive group of people chasing the perfect Pinot Noir.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Alumni: Seaton McLean, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�78, and Michael MacMillan, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�78
Place: Hillier, Ont.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I enjoyed wine before I ever thought of making it.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Seaton McLean was a wine enthusiast long before he was a wine producer. He was a producer of a different kind, crafting stories for television and film. The same goes for his classmate, Michael MacMillan, who enjoyed wine enough to make it 카지노 게임 컬렉션� at home, from concentrate. Neither was contemplating a career in wine production until a chance conversation changed everything.

Mr. McLean connected with winemaker Deborah Paskus at a dinner party, enjoying casual conversation about her work. He didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t think much more about the encounter until months later, when Ms. Paskus delivered a 60-page business plan and a deadline. She had found the perfect plot in Prince Edward County, just an hour or so down the road from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s. But there was a catch 카지노 게임 컬렉션� if they wanted it, they카지노 게임 컬렉션�d have to act fast as others were interested.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We figured what카지노 게임 컬렉션�s the worst that can happen? The land was relatively inexpensive back then 카지노 게임 컬렉션� And so I called Deborah back and said, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Put an offer in.카지노 게임 컬렉션� So, she did, and they said yes, and 카지노 게임 컬렉션� without realizing it 카지노 게임 컬렉션� we were in the wine business,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Mr. McLean recalls. The result is Closson Chase Vineyards, famous for its purple barn. Mr. McLean and Mr. MacMillan are two of the winery카지노 게임 컬렉션�s owners and their education has proved invaluable to the venture.

The Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s film studies department in the 1970s was rather unorthodox. Mr. MacMillan shares that students helped run the department. For instance, by his second year, he was a teaching assistant and hiring-committee member. It was an invaluable exercise in independence and motivation. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�We had an experience of 카지노 게임 컬렉션� taking responsibility and being willing to dive in and not assuming that it was going to get laid out in front of you,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says.

Students were also given free rein creatively, a crucial quality for winemakers.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I think almost all the people I know who are in the wine business, I would describe them as storytellers. And I think they see themselves that way, too,카지노 게임 컬렉션�
Mr. McLean says. He adds that the unpredictable and challenging industry is 카지노 게임 컬렉션�not for the faint of heart, but we카지노 게임 컬렉션�re still telling the story.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Mr. McLean helps oversee operations at Closson Chase, having regular conversations with the manager and winemaker. Mr. MacMillan is less hands-on, but he카지노 게임 컬렉션�s developed a special relationship with the land. He and his wife, Cathy (nee Spoel, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�78), moved an old barn onto the land to serve as their country home. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�My physical awareness of the place is much deeper,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says.

Wine recommendation

Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s alumni eager to appreciate Closson Chase카지노 게임 컬렉션�s terroir should try the estate카지노 게임 컬렉션�s and South Clos Pinot Noir.

Alumni: Jim D카지노 게임 컬렉션�Andrea, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�77, MA카지노 게임 컬렉션�80, LLB카지노 게임 컬렉션�82, and Leslie D카지노 게임 컬렉션�Andrea, nee MacIntosh, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�81
Place: Okanagan Falls, B.C.

While many people meet and fall in love at university, Noble Ridge Vineyard and Winery owners Jim and Leslie D카지노 게임 컬렉션�Andrea may just have the most movie-worthy story of all 카지노 게임 컬렉션� they met while working as bartenders at Alfie카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, the beloved student-run bar.

Though they connected while pouring pints, the D카지노 게임 컬렉션�Andreas didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t immediately join the wine industry. In fact, their careers were about as far away from farmland as you can get. Mr. D카지노 게임 컬렉션�Andrea enjoyed a robust legal career, while Mrs. D카지노 게임 컬렉션�Andrea focused on health-care management. A 1998 trip backpacking around Europe with their kids (all future Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s alumni) changed that.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�My recollection was that we were in France 카지노 게임 컬렉션� We were walking through a vineyard, and I said to Leslie, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�This is what I want to do,카지노 게임 컬렉션�카지노 게임 컬렉션� Mr. D카지노 게임 컬렉션�Andrea recalls.

At first, Mrs. D카지노 게임 컬렉션�Andrea thought he was referring to the European lifestyle. But then it dawned on her. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�You want the dirt, don카지노 게임 컬렉션�t you?카지노 게임 컬렉션�

He did, and after considering many options, they bought a plot in the Okanagan Valley in 2001. It came with just 3.5 acres of vines at the time, so some planting was in order. Today, they boast 24 acres of planted vines.

Their journey from being student sweethearts to having a European 카지노 게임 컬렉션�aha카지노 게임 컬렉션� moment to owning a vineyard sounds romantic.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�It is romantic,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Mrs. D카지노 게임 컬렉션�Andrea. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�It is. It is fun. It is all that, but it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s hard work 카지노 게임 컬렉션� there카지노 게임 컬렉션�s times when you카지노 게임 컬렉션�re working very hard and nature카지노 게임 컬렉션�s not going your way 카지노 게임 컬렉션� like the bear that was eating half our Cabernet.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Ravenous bears aside, their Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s education has prepared them for many of the rigours of vineyard life. Mrs. D카지노 게임 컬렉션�Andrea카지노 게임 컬렉션�s background in science means she can dig into agricultural reports. With his legal expertise, Mr. D카지노 게임 컬렉션�Andrea provides hands-on leadership for client contracts and employee agreements. However, they do have a tip for students pondering a winemaking career: don카지노 게임 컬렉션�t forget to study marketing. Mrs. D카지노 게임 컬렉션�Andrea laughs when asked if she wishes she had learned anything to help her current career and describes how marketing is a massive part of running a vineyard.

And for those who are curious, now that Mr. D카지노 게임 컬렉션�Andrea has gotten the land he wanted so much, he does indeed play with it. Even in winter you카지노 게임 컬렉션�ll find him outside, battling the snow as he prunes vines. He jokes that the staff knows to confine him to just one small section of the grapes so he doesn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t cause too much mayhem.

Wine recommendation

To gain an appreciation for the soil that Jim and Leslie D카지노 게임 컬렉션�Andrea love so much, they suggest you start with their sparkling wines. is their primary sparkling and their personal favourite.

Alumna: Cherie Spriggs (Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�00)
Place: West Sussex, U.K.

In the effervescent world of winemaking, Cherie Spriggs creates masterful blends, not just with her grapes but also through combining scientific precision and artistic finesse. Her Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s education is right there in the mix.

As the head winemaker for Nyetimber, Ms. Spriggs (whom one critic referred to as 카지노 게임 컬렉션�the Canadian superstar of English bubbly카지노 게임 컬렉션�) has been instrumental in transforming the English sparkling wine landscape. In 2018, she made history as the recipient of the prestigious Sparkling Winemaker of the Year award at the International Wine Challenge, becoming the first woman and the first person from outside France and Champagne to take the title.

Being a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s alumna played a significant part in her accomplishments.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Winemaking, particularly sparkling winemaking, to be done at its best, requires a blend of top-level understanding of the technical scientific aspects 카지노 게임 컬렉션� I did my degree at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s in biochemistry, which gave me an outstanding background in science. I still needed to do an oenology degree there-after to be trained in the winemaking science, but that was something I could quite easily do as a postgraduate degree since my science training from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s was so strong.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Nyetimber카지노 게임 컬렉션�s commitment to using only 100 per cent estate-owned and -grown grapes, meticulously cared for across 11 vineyards, means that every bottle produced is of the highest quality.

Wine recommendation

카지노 게임 컬렉션�At Nyetimber, the best of our best is our prestige cuvée, named . It is only made in the best years in small quantities with only the absolute best vineyard parcels for Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier 카지노 게임 컬렉션� Such a value of excellence aligns very well with what Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s taught its students and I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m sure its alumni continue to hold dear.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Meet some of the alumni who have found the recipe for success with craft beer and cider. 

By Peter Simpson 

It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s not just the world of wine where Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s alumni are having an impact. You카지노 게임 컬렉션�ll find a touch of the tricolour at breweries or cideries across Canada (and around the world) where alumni are making their mark with creative approaches to craft beer and cider. We contacted two craft breweries and one cidery to find out what makes their brand unique, and how their education at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s played a role in their success.  Our respondents are:

Alumnus: Jim Davies, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션�86, Brenda (Andrews) Davies, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�83, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�84, Ed카지노 게임 컬렉션�85, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�88,  Jacob Davies, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션�12, and Meaghan Dalby Davies, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�12
Place: Arnprior, Ont.

Alumnus: Joshua Counsil, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션�09, Angus Campbell, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션�09, Doug Kehoe, Sc 카지노 게임 컬렉션�10
Place: Halifax, N.S.

Alumnus: Steve Waugh, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�05
Place: Kingston, Ont.

How did your Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s education prepare you for the world of craft beer/cider?

Farmgate: With four Queen's grads on staff, our foundation encompasses biology, engineering, history, education and fine art. Growing a business requires a lot of business savvy, problem solving, creativity and communication strategies. Queen's cultivated our desire to be life-long learners and to appreciate and recognize the skills and talents of each other.

Good Robot: The three founders of Good Robot lived together on Aberdeen Street in Kingston. 카지노게임사이트 social gatherings taught us about how to include people, make them feel special, how to curate an experience. 

Something In the Water: While my Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s class load provided a rigour that has been applied to business, the real learning was my time on Princess Street. Serendipitously, I became an owner of a brewery and taproom on the same street that I walked throughout university. It was the real-world learning of Kingston that prepared me for Something in the Water on Princess Street.

What makes your brewery/cidery unique in your marketplace?

Farmgate: We have a strong commitment to sustainability. We manage our orchards organically, use ozonated water for sterilization, heat with geothermal, produce electricity with solar panels and have eliminated single-use plastics. We are responsible to the land, our craft, our customers and each other.

Good Robot: We are the only brand to offer full-service contract beverage manufacturing and co-packing services for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages in Nova Scotia. This means we can make any beverage in a can 카지노 게임 컬렉션� non-alcoholic, wine, espresso martinis, energy drinks, cider, whatever. This means a kid with a dream can launch an innovative beverage, like Ace Beverages카지노 게임 컬렉션� co-founder Cam McDonald did, without building an expensive facility. His brand was acquired for $148.5 million. 

Something In The Water: Our space has more of a café feel than brewery and is flanked by a pink velvet banquette. Elegant light fixtures and stemmed glassware are atypical for breweries. What needs to speak the loudest is the liquid, and we카지노 게임 컬렉션�re proud to have been recognized as Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 2022 New Brewery of the Year on the back of our curious beers.

You can recommend one of your beers/ciders to fellow alumni. Which do you pour for them?

Farmgate: One of our single varietal ciders, like North Road, or a Russet cider, very different ciders that share the authenticity of the apple they came from.

Good Robot: ThemBot Sour was the only Nova Scotia beer at LCBO last summer. I took a pilgrimage to Kingston to buy a can of it, which I enjoyed on the lawn of our former Aberdeen residence. I'd also serve them Good Robot Ultra. It was built for a Dixie Cup. 

Something In The Water: Our Pancake Bay Sweet Brunch Stout put us on the map, winning Silver at the World Beer Awards. (It has) five kinds of malts, with flaked oats and milk sugar to sweeten it, and is steeped in fresh roasted ground coffee and finished with maple syrup. It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s OK to have beer for breakfast.
