RICHLAND -- Winemakers and grape growers think Washington State University's Wine Science Center is so important, they are contributing $7.4 million to get it built. The $23.25 million center, to be built on George Washington Way adjacent to WSU Tri-Cities in Richland, is being hailed by industry leaders as one of the most important projects in the history of Washington wine and a cornerstone for propelling the state into a globally recognized world-class wine region.
