10th Anniversary of Inniskillin Hall

August 19, 2009 - Brock University celebrated the 10th anniversary of Inniskillin Hall — the research facility that houses the Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute (CCOVI). The construction of Inniskillin Hall cemented the formal creation of the wine institute — a partnership between Brock University, the Grape Growers of Ontario and the Wine Council of Ontario — that was established to serve Canadas grape-growing and winemaking enterprises. In 1999, under the leadership of Donald Ziraldo and John Howard, CCOVI officially opened Inniskillin Hall as a result of a $2.5 million capital campaign that saw industry partners raise $500,000 over goal.
