Wine makers Paul and Sharon Shuster and John Wildmo produce seven to eight thousand gallons of wine per year yet craft their wines in small batches. After fermentation the wines are aged in large Italian stainless steel tanks for a year or more before bottling. The crisp clean taste of rhubarb is the signature wine produced at Forestedge Winery. Forestedge Rhubarb Wine has won many International awards and in 2005 was named best Minnesota Fruit Wine at the Twin Cities Food and Wine Experience. Much of the fruit used at Forestedge Winery is harvested from the winery grounds. - Chris Pommier

When the Initiative for Humanities and Culture was organized in 1998, the Academy recognized that the humanities are the only disciplines that lack reliable, comprehensive, and consistently updated statistical data necessary to chart trends and draw conclusions. To address this need, the Academy began working closely with major humanities institutions, including the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Council of Learned Societies and the National Humanities Alliance, to develop an infrastructure for the compilation, analysis and publication of comprehensive trend data about the humanities. The Humanities Indicators is a result of this work and is modeled after the Science and Engineering Indicators published biennially by the National Science Board. - Chris Pommier
