“As the wine industry continues to grow, it needs talent at levels never before seen. Cal Poly is uniquely positioned to equip tomorrow’s leaders with a holistic foundation in the wine business, and the JUSTIN & J. LOHR Center for Wine and Viticulture will be the underpinning of this program. 

I’m proud to lead the charge in developing a center that will be a critical piece in the ongoing growth of an industry I’ve been involved in for decades.”
