Elizabeth Van Emst, general manager of Cooperages 1912 Napa, said, “We have historically supported the education of Cal Poly students by donating barrels as well as consulting on barrel experiments with our Director of Research David Llodra. The new winery will allow us to contribute to these future winemakers’ education on a much larger scale.
Cooperages 1912 is expanding their World Cooperage Profile Series with the Impression barrel. Impression is the fourth barrel to be launched in the series utilizing infrared toasting technology.
Cooperages 1912 is expanding the TW Boswell French Oak Collection and American Oak Collection with the addition of the new Avant barrel.
Cooperages 1912 and the Boswell Family recently announced a $250,000 donation to Cal Poly’s new JUSTIN and J. LOHR Center for Wine and Viticulture.
