ROSEBURG, Ore. -- A big monetary pledge will help out at the Southern Oregon Wine Institute's vineyard.

The Cow Creek band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians donated $100,000 to the wine program at Umpqua Community College.  That money, along with gifts from other major donors, bring total donations up to 90 percent of the Wine Institute's goal.

UCC hopes some of the money will help start construction on the Lang Center which will house classrooms, a winery, a tasting room, a winery incubator, a testing laboratory and a public events center.
