Immediate Source of Acquisition The collection was donated to California State Polytechnic University, Pomona by Thomas Pinney on June 24, 2005. Biographical / Historical Thomas Pinney is Professor Emeritus of English at Pomona College and the author of wine history books. He was born on April 23, 1932 in Ottawa, Kansas to John J. and Lorene Pinney. Thomas Pinney received a bachelor of arts degree in 1954 from Beloit College in Wisconsin. In 1960, he earned his Ph.D. from Yale University. While studying at Yale, Pinney developed an interest in wine and, in 1956, he started collecting wine-related materials. He also became interested in the literature of wine. After earning his Ph.D., Pinney taught at Hamilton College in New York and then at Yale. In 1962, he became an assistant professor of English at Pomona College in Claremont, California. In 1989, Pinney published the first of his two-volume set on the history of wine in the United States: A History of Wine in America: From the Beginnings to Prohibition. The second volume, A History of Wine in America: From Prohibition to the Present was published in 2005. For the second volume, Pinney won the 2006 International Association of Culinary Professionals Cookbook Award for Wine, Beer, or Spirits. Pinney's other books on wine include The Wine of Santa Cruz Island, The Makers of American Wine: A Record of Two Hundred Years (2012) and The City of Vines: A History of Wine in Los Angeles (2017).

Ongoing research This building was named after winemaker Robert Mondavi, who with his wife New funding from USDA-NIFA Margrit donated $35 million to UC Davis in 2001 towards the building housing the Food Science & Technology and Viticulture & Enology departments, and the and the Almond Board of Robert and Margrit Mondavi Performing Arts Center. California This year, to honor the generosity of the Mondavi family, Phaff collection curator Kyria Boundy-Mills in collaboration with Gennadi Naumov and Elena Naumova named a yeast species after the Mondavis: Komagataella mondaviorum. Naming p. 4 a yeast species involves publishing a scientific paper in a peer-reviewed journal. Recent publications This publication was in a journal called Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, named after the inventor of the microscope. In the future, scientists studying this yeast can obtain it from the UC Davis Phaff Yeast Culture Collection, or the Westerdijk p. 5 Institute in the Netherlands, or the USDA-ARS collection in Peoria, Illinois.

    part one A California Wine Primer Olken_Ch00_FM.indd 1 7/13/10 12:07:51 PM Olken_Ch00_FM.indd 2 7/13/10 12:07:52 PM A Brief History of Wine in California more than two hundred years after Spanish missionaries brought vine cuttings with them from Mexico’s Baja California and established the first of the California missions in San Diego, researchers at Madrid’s National Biotechnical Center, using DNA techniques, have traced those first vines back to a black grape that seems to be a dark-colored relative of the Palomino grape still in use for the production of Sherry. That humble beginning may not seem like it would have much to do with today’s bur- geoning wine industry, but the fact is that the Mission variety became the vine of choice in California as its population grew first through the arrival of trappers and wealthy landowners, then with the small but steady stream of wagon trains that came west out of the country’s heartland and the establishment in the 1840s of the clipper ship trade. By the time the trans- continental railroad was completed in 1869, California’s wine economy had become established, and despite world wars and periods in which the sale of alcohol was banned, the industry hung on and finally exploded into its current shape with the wine boom of the 1970s. Today, the Mission grape is gone, but the wine industry it helped spawn now boasts over a half million acres of wine grapes from one end of the state to the other.

How and why have descriptive and evaluative vocabularies changed over time? The essay shows that these vocabularies have shifted from the spare to the elaborate, from medical im- plications to aesthetic analyses, from a leading concern with “goodness” (authenticity, soundness) to interest in the analytic description of component flavors and odors. The causes of these changes are various: one involves the importance, and eventual disap- pearance, of a traditional physiological framework for appreciating the powers and qualities of different sorts of aliment, including wines; another concerns the develop- ment of chemical sciences concerned with flavor components; and still another flows from changing social and economic circumstances in which wine was consumed and the functions served by languages of connoisseurship.

  • The Bordeaux Wine Country of France: Medoc, St. Emilion, and Grave-Sauterne
    The Bordeaux Wine Country of France: Medoc, St. Emilion, and Grave-Sauterne Bordeaux Wine Country – Images by Lee Foster by Lee Foster Every traveler with an interest in wine and food owes himself or herself, at some point in life, a pilgrimage to Bordeaux, a gustatory shrine. A glass of well-aged red wine from one of the better chateaux of the Medoc or a sweet white wine from one of the best Sauternes chateaux are two of the exquisite taste pleasures that life offers. Drinking these wines at their place of origin, after seeing how the grapes are grown and the wine vinted, is a satisfying and joyful experience. Pairing the wine with delectable regional cuisine is an added pleasure. The memories of a trip to Bordeaux can last a lifetime, flooding back whenever you subsequently have an opportunity to open another bottle of Bordeaux wine. For many travelers, whose most accessible wine drinking experience may be California wines, the trip to Bordeaux is an exhilarating search for the origin of the Cabernet and Merlot vines that create some of the most satisfying California red wines. Bordeaux is also the first home of the Sauvignon and Semillon grapes that constitute so many attractive white wines in California. The budget traveler should note that monetary savings spent on drinking a week’s worth of good Bordeaux wine in Bordeaux, where the wine is cheapest at its place of origin, can contribute substantially to the cost of a charter flight to get you to Paris. Train to Bordeaux From Paris I caught the train to Bordeaux, which is situated in the southwest of the country.

  • 250 Years Since the First Rosé Champagne
    250 years since the first rosé champagne Ruinart, the first established Champagne House, founded in 1729, has been shipping rosé champagne since 1764. The House’s account book is the proof. On 14 March 1764, it is written that there was a shipment of «a basket of 120 bottles, 60 bottles of which were Oeil de Perdrix». What is the connection between birds of the Gallinaceae family and the early history of the oldest Champagne House? In fact, the term «Oeil de Perdrix» means a colour which could be described as a delicate pink with coppery reflections. There’s no longer any doubt. Ruinart shipped its first bottles of rosé champagne in 1764. 250 years : such a fabulous anniversary in so many ways, an historic date which links Ruinart forever to the history of champagne. The account books, various correspondence and the accounts of the heads of the House have allowed us to discover a multitude of varieties and oenological trials in search of taste, flavour and the ideal colour. What was in all probability a rosé from maceration at the beginning would then evolve to become a blended rosé. Ruinart explored various ways of obtaining a coloured champagne, for example by using the colouring of some elderberries. The palette of colours for these wines was very large. There were a number of terms to define them in French: roset, oeil de perdrix, rozet, paillé (straw), clairet (pale wine) and even cerise (cherry). Towards the end of the 18th century, the expression «Oeil de Perdrix» disappeared in favour of names closer to those we use: rozet and then rosé.
