So you want to go to winemaking school WHO doesn't want to be a rocket scientist? A best-selling novelist? Or, for that matter, a winemaker? Certain professions simply sound more glamorous than others. Yet the aerospace industry isn't exactly thriving, and Amazon can make any book seem like a best seller - at least for a while. Winemaking, too, isn't nearly as romantic as some people might think. This point was driven home particularly well when I visited the University of California, Davis, a few weeks ago. The UC Davis viticultural and oenology program isn't only one of the oldest winemaking programs in the US, but arguably the most prestigious. Some of the most famous winemakers in the country are Davis grads; I've even heard people call Davis the Harvard of winemaking schools.
