Get your limited-edition Alumni Wine!

Here at Cornell, the autumn air is crisp, leaves fall gracefully, and apple picking beckons… but there’s another seasonal tradition we love: the release of a new collection of Alumni Wine by Cornell Alumni Affairs!

This year’s collection features all New York wines, including a Riesling by Nova Cadamatre ’06 of Snowshell Vineyards; a Cabernet Franc by Ed Harbes IV ’05 of Harbes Vineyard; and a Lake Erie Sparkling Wine by Frederick Johnson Jr ’75, MBA ’77, and Jennifer Johnson, MBA ’79, of Johnson Estate Winery. The artwork on all three bottles is by Wendy Johnson, BFA ’74, whose stunning landscape paintings bring the collection together.
