Join SSA alumnus Michael Noel '80 on Wednesday, Feb. 24, at 7 p.m., as he shares his 15-year journey growing and producing wine from a two-acre vineyard in Oregon. You will hear what first inspired Michael and his wife, Lisa, to pursue their wine-making interest after visiting her family in Italy.  Michael will also speak about the site selection process, land preparation and plant variety, and will include growing, harvesting, winemaking and exciting research tips he has learned from trips around the world. A Q&A will follow. RSVP online Questions? Contact Lisa Page.
