The University of California, Davis in Northern California is famous for having the best viticulture and enology program in the country. Celebrate their alumni winemakers with six wines that prove that the right education can be tasted. Start with two Chardonnays – the crisp Hess Collection from Mt Veeder in Napa and the fruity, perfumed La Follette from Mendocino County. Then, taste four reds – the elegant Fess Parker from Santa Barbara, the deep and intense Palmeri Syrah from Sonoma County, the Right Bank Bordeaux-style Swanson Merlot from Napa Valley, and the richly-textured Carol Shelton Zinfandel from Sonoma County. 
 
Don’t be surprised if after this flight, you find yourself wearing a lot more blue and gold and spontaneously chanting “Go Aggies!”
