Wine is a major industry in this part of the country but with the ongoing drought how can production become more sustainable? UC Davis has created a new center to develop these technologies in order to address this issue. Learn how this industry can change while tasting and learning about what they are producing.

The Science of Wine will be discussed at the UC Davis TERC Center on August 24, starting with 5:30 p.m. no-host cocktails and the talk from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Jill Brigham is the Executive Director of the UC Davis’ new Sustainable Wine & Food Processing Center. Jill develops and manages a research portfolio addressing a broad variety of wine, food and beverage industry needs in the areas of water and energy minimization, rainwater recovery and treatment, alternative energy generation, and byproduct recovery. She leads the development of technologies and processes necessary to enable the UC Davis Teaching & Research Winery to be fully self-sustainable and carbon neutral.
