Sip and Spit!

Well, hi there! I'm tickled pink (make that rosé) that you could find time in your arduous schedule to fit in a quick visit to the virtual cafe. How you doing, anyway? Ready for a mug of coffee and a virtual doughnut, muffin or pastry? Of course you are! Here is one place you don't have to 'sip and spit'!

California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo has a huge, 350-student "viticulture and enology" program, preparing its majors for an industry critical to the state's economy (and with a venerable international cachet) -- but puritanical state law continues to hobble it. 

Many in Cal Poly's four-year wine-making program must arrange for a fifth year -- after they turn 21 -- because, otherwise, faculty and administrators could be felons for "furnishing alcohol to a minor" when they assign students to taste their own class creations. 

The current California legislative session is considering allowing underage wine-making students to sip and spit. [San Luis Obispo Tribune, 6-20-2014]

Time for a change, methinks!

See ya, eh!
