No W(h)ining

Heard from someone in my MBA program that Stanford is actually offering a wine tasting class for credit. I was so floored by this that I actually did a search for the class webpage (link here). Unbelievable. If the luxury shopping mall, equestrian center, 18-hole golf course, and Rodin sculpture garden, all on campus, weren't enough. Makes one wonder if Stanford is indeed a real university or rather a luxury resort that happens to award you a piece of sheepskin at the end of your four-year vacation. Apparently, the class from a prior semester toured Chateau Souverain during a trip to Sonoma; they have photos of the entrance as well as the grounds posted on the site (photos here).
