May 2018 A Monthly Publication from the Ida & Cecil Green Faculty Club UCSD Faculty Club Newsletter Faculty Club “Refreshment”: A New Look In fall 2016, the Faculty Club welcomed members to the newly-remodeled lounge at the south end of the Club. Now named “Cecil’s” in honor of campus philanthropist Cecil H. Green, the lounge has become the most popular location in the Club. The expansive patio and its fireplace, the pizza oven, the teak flooring, and the casual elegance of the inte- rior beckon for happy hours and special events. This past year, the Club’s House Committee, has sought to create a plan to bring the rest of the Club up to the standard set by Cecil’s. Working with the San Diego design firm McCormick & Wright, the House Committee intends to up- grade furniture, carpeting/flooring, and wall color in the lobby, dining room, and courtyard. There will be no re- model of building spaces, just a more contemporary and comfortable look and feel…a refreshment of the spaces fur- nished some twenty years ago. Although UCSD has been said to stand for “Under Con- struction, Some Disruption,” we intend for there to be as little disruption to members as possible. The actual work will take place in late summer, with uninterrupted lunch service. We’re excited by these plans, and we hope you will be eager to enjoy the newly-imagined spaces of your Facul- ty Club.

8 BELLS IS THE FEATURED WINERY FOR THE MONTH OF MAY
Eight Bells Winery is a small (2000 barrels per year) urban winery in the Roosevelt/Ravenna neighbor-hood of North Seattle, producing handcrafted red and white wines. They source grapes from the Red Willow Vineyard in the Yakima Valley, the Methven Family Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills near Day-ton, Oregon and from the Boushey Vineyards in Grandview, Washington.
The 2016 Pinot Gris was grown in the Methven Family Vineyard in Dayton, Oregon. The wine is dry with a grapefruit bouquet, full mouthfeel and long finish.
The 2013 Syrah is a blend of 94% Syrah, 4% Viognier, and 2% Grenache, all from Red Willow Vine-yard. The Syrah is bright, dark red and has smoky aromas of raspberry and meat with flavors of red berries, game, chocolate and spices.
Please join us in Cecil’s where you can sample this month’s wines. Three ounce samples of both wines are $9, a full glass of either wine is $10, or a bottle of either wine is $40. See you at Cecil’s on Wednes-day and Thursday throughout the month of May.
