Darrell Corti Endowed Professorship in Food, Wine, and Culture

Join us in supporting the Darrell Corti Endowed Professorship which supports a faculty member and their research that focuses on the intersection of food, wine and culture. Named after the highly respected wine and food expert Darrell Corti who has been at the forefront of the development and growth of the California wine industry since joining his family’s grocery business, Corti Brothers in Sacramento, in 1964. By seeking out new California fine wines, he has been instrumental in creating a larger market for emerging wineries, especially for those in Napa Valley. By supporting this fund you'll continue to advance academic excellence in research, curriculum development and leadership, and public outreach in the exploration and understanding of the cultural aspects of food and wine in California, the U.S. and around the world.
