Wine Tasting Club

The Baruch College Faculty Handbook



This page last updated on 4/29/11

The impact of the college’s new alcohol policy, new as of February 2012, will have an impact on the continued existence of this club. As of spring 2012, activities have been suspended, pending further notice.

 

The Faculty Wine Tasting Club was founded in Fall 2004. Open to all members of the faculty and staff, the club meets two or three times per semester to enjoy a variety of wines and to foster genial social interaction across the boundaries of school. These are usually informal, but in the last couple of years we have moved to include at least a couple of tastings in which we are guided by a professional.

 

At the beginning of the academic year a mailing to the entire Baruch faculty invites those who are interested to forward their names for inclusion in the list that will be notified of upcoming gatherings. Everyone who attends pays a fee (usually $20-30) that covers the cost of the wines for that evening and some snacks.

 

The club is run by an informal “executive committee.” Currently the committee comprises Ali Nematollahy, Gayana Jurkevich, Karl Lang, Dennis Slavin, and Ana Valenzuela.

 

Anyone who would like to add his/her name to our mailing list should communicate this by email to Dennis.Slavin@baruch.cuny.edu.
