D.E.V.O.(Department of Enology and Viticulture Organization), a UC Davis student organization, that focuses on getting students to wine tastings, meeting important people in the wine industry and having some fun along the way has a novel fundraising idea. The funds are needed to support a planned educational immersion trip to Spain and Portugal this spring for 16 students, half undergraduates and half graduate students, along with one of their professors.

The fundraiser is a raffle. The novel part is that the prizes consist of some very interesting, old wines generously donated from the UC Davis cellar, along with some Spanish wines, and various others. Tickets are $1 each. The drawing will be held on March 15.

For a list of the wines and how to buy tickets, visit their website. Pierre and I are in... How about you guys?
