Title of entry: Aggies Uncorked 5 Year Anniversary Celebration

About this entry: Raising a glass to 5 years of Aggies Uncorked!
Five years, dozens of wineries and countless toasts later, UC Davis’ Aggies Uncorked Alumni Wine Club celebrated a major milestone this fall.
On Nov. 15, alumni and friends gathered at the Walter A. Buehler Alumni Center for the club’s fifth anniversary celebration — an evening filled with fine wine, camaraderie, and a toast to the transformative impact alumni winemakers and members have made together.
Aggies Uncorked invited back more than 20 of our featured wineries to provide tastings for all attendees. To sample these amazing wines, all guests were provided a commemorative Riedel glass to use and take home.
More than just an wine tasting experience, the guests were treated to a custom blend created by fellow Aggies, custom high-end glassware to bring home, discussions with world-renowned such as Jerry Lohr, and celebratory toasts from campus leadership, including Chancellor Gary May. This celebration boasted the largest ever attended Aggies Uncorked event, with 250 attendees and 30 winemakers coming together for an unforgettable evening of celebration.
