Organic Italian Wine Education & Tasting Event
Wednesday, June 5, 6:30-8 pm, $25*

Experience a guided tasting with two of the most knowledgeable wine ladies in the Midwest! 

You have met Saint Paul College Wine Professional instructor and Territory Manager Nikki Erpelding from Winebow Imports. And special guest Maria Megna, 19-year veteran of Winebow Imports, Nikki's boss and mentor, will be leading this tasting. 

 We will feature organic selections from the portfolio that will make you wonder why you drink anything else! 

Maria, of Sicilian descent grew up in her Mother's Italian restaurant in Milwaukee, crafting a world class Italian wine list before going to work for the founder of Winebow, Leonardo LoCascio (also Sicilian). Maria's status at Winebow is that of a true female leader in promoting Italian fine wines. The task of promoting Italian fine wines cannot be understated, it must come with considerable knowledge of Italian history, culture and of the 20 regions and over 350 different varietals that are associated.
