The 12th Annual Meeting of the American Association of Wine Economists was hold
in Ithaca, New York, USA, June 10 – June 14, 2018
The conference was hosted by Cornell University:
Cornell has about 14,000 undergraduate and 5,000 graduate students on its Ithaca campus, with many highly regarded programs. A guiding principle of the university, that continues to this day, was espoused by its founder, Ezra Cornell “I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.” Cornell is unusual in that it includes both public and private schools and colleges.

Besides being known for its gorges, the “Commons”, the Historic State Theater, the numerous State Parks in the area, and its two universities–Cornell University and Ithaca College—it’s also the home of the Moosewood Restaurant, a vegetarian restaurant founded in 1973 and widely renowned for its cookbook.
