Viticulture and Enology students from the Ningxia University in China visited the Fruit Station today for some hands on learning. The students arrived in Springfield in September and will be attending Missouri State University. Today some of the students came to Mountain Grove for some hands on experience in the vineyard. They harvested Vidal Blanc and Chambourcin grapes. The Vidal Blanc grapes were then put through the stemmer-crusher and a basket press. The juice was filtered and drank. The Chambourcin Grapes were put into the cooler. The students also received a tour of the winery and distillery. The students were led by Dr Martin Kaps, Susanne Howard and C.J. Odneal. Dr. Wenping Qiu provided the Ningxia faculty with a tour and helped us out with translation.
