Founded to foster higher learning in wine education, the
George T. Gamblin Memorial Scholarship was awarded annually to a second-year Master of Wine student from 2018 to 2020.
George's daughter, Mary Margaret McCamic, became a Master of Wine in 2016. Her love of learning and dedication to climbing the wine world's version of Mount Everest was driven in large part by her father. In an effort to keep his memory alive, instill a passion for higher learning in the world of wine, and foster the same intellectual curiosity that her father passed onto her, Mary Margaret and her family created an annual, family-funded scholarship awarded to a second-year Master of Wine Student. The first scholarship was awarded in the fall of 2018. The scholarship closed in 2021 with a final piece, “One Last Glass,” written by Mary Margaret about her father, which can be read below.
