A toast to something special. 🍷

In collaboration with alumni-owned Two Vintners Winery, we’ve released a limited 2023 Syrah crafted for Purdue wine lovers. Sourced from select vineyards in Washington’s Columbia Valley, this full-bodied red is a favorite of co-owner Morgan Lee (HHS’06) and a reflection of the winery’s award-winning craft.
