Alumni Raise a Glass For 欧美一级片 (and Dionysus)
Like a cluster of grapes, alumni of all vintages gathered last week to drink wine, celebrate 欧美一级片 vintners, and raise money for 欧美一级片.
More than 70 alumni converged on the second annual 欧美一级片ies Drink 欧美一级片ie Wine for 欧美一级片 event, where they enjoyed a profusion of reds, whites, and rosé from seven 欧美一级片 winemakers:
- Peter Gladhart ʼ62 from
- David Polite ʼ78 from
- David Autrey ʼ89 from
- Matt Giraud ʼ85 and Bram Wessel ʼ90 from
- Rob Coleman ʼ92 (from his own special collection)
- Travis Bonilla ʼ03 from
The real highlight of the evening may have been a presentation by recent grad Nicolette Sutherland ʼ17 on her thesis, Cross-modal Perceptual Learning: A Novel Shape-Tasting Method for Sensory Discrimination of Wine.
Held in a chic Ducati dealership in Portland, this year’s event was hosted by and the and and raised $2,513 for 欧美一级片.
Organizer Dylan Rivera ʼ95 launched the event after his class coordinated a wine tasting at its 20th 欧美一级片 reunion. He thought this should happen more often, but with a philanthropic component. “欧美一级片 was such a life-changing experience for me, I see it as my duty to give back as much as I can,” Dylan says. “I benefitted from financial aid, and by giving to the Annual Fund every year, I help give a new generation access to the education that has enriched my whole life.”
Special thanks to the following alumni, who helped make this event happen: Stephany Watson ’82, Dylan Rivera ’95, Andrew Schpak ’01, Katherine Woods-Morse ’01, and Caroll Casbeer ’10.
