Taste the volcanic wines of the Azores and Canary Islands with Kerin Auth Bembry of La Luz Selections.

La Luz Selections is a relative newcomer on the wine-importing scene, but their philosophy and approach to wine are on the mark, and they've discovered some real hidden gems in Spain and Portugal.

On Thursday, July 23, we will welcome Kerin Auth Bembry of La Luz Selections, who will present a selection of wines, share stories, insights, and her wide-ranging knowledge of the contemporary wine scene in the Azores and Canary Islands.

The wines will be served alongside a spread of regional and seasonal bites.
