CLARKDALE - When the Verde Valley Wine Consortium formed two years ago this month, it set as one of its primary goals the development of a homegrown education program.One of the goals of the committee formed to promote a valley-based wine education program was to develop a laboratory and learning center.A year ago Yavapai College took the first steps in that direction, creating the first community college viticulture program in the state and one of only a handful in the country.But something has been missing ... like a vineyard.
