Over the weekend, the students in our new CH441- Special Topics In Chemistry course had a field trip to Dr. Barr’s house. This semester’s special topic is “Grapes & Wine”. Students will learn about the chemical and biochemical fundamentals of grapes, wine, and winemaking. Step 1 was picking grapes! Throughout the semester they will dive into other topics such as wine chemical composition, wine history, styles, viticulture, harvesting, fermentation, clarification, aging, bottling and sensory evaluation. This course is a great mix of lectures and hands on labs and field trips.
