Join us for our monthly, complementary wine tasting in New Bern on Friday, October 21st from 5-7pm and in Oriental Saturday, October 22nd at 2 & 3pm.
This month it's all things Italian with Italian Wine Aficionado Heather Parnham. After college, Heather spent several years traveling all over Europe, visiting the different regions of Italy – where she says, "I fell in love with Tuscany (who doesn’t ha ha ha)." Heather states that "Sangiovese has become the 'love of my life' so to say and has been the constant driver of my passion in this industry. I love studying the seemingly endless varietals and styles we find in Italy and the 'traditions' that old and new winemakers are creating and keeping alive. I look forward to sharing my passion with everyone and hopefully introducing you to some new favorites!"
