JOBS - "College Cellars," Training for Wine Industry

"School of Wine: Training Students for Jobs in Washington State's Wine Industry" PBS Newshour 9/10/2012

Excerpt

JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): Now, higher education, jobs, and, yes, fine wine.

Leaders in business and politics are increasingly looking to community colleges to help train students and, in some cases, even connect them directly with potential employers.

Special correspondent John Tulenko of Learning Matters has a story about the unusual path that one college in Washington state is taking.

JOHN TULENKO: The 2012 Seattle Wine Awards, showcasing the best in Washington state wines.

JOEL BUTLER, wine judge: We have over 700 wineries. And we make some of the best Cabernet, Serrat, Riesling, and Merlot. So, we're one of the top places in the world now for making fine wine.

JOHN TULENKO: One champion receiving three double gold medals was an entry few had ever heard of, College Cellars.
