About this Event
We're so excited to welcome Ross Tefteller of Dionysus Imports to the Italian Cultural & Community Center for our first Aperitivo Italiano of 2025! Enjoy four wines accompanied by Italian-style light bites as we journey through Sicily and Campania. With histories of winemaking dating back millennia, it's safe to say that these dynamic and volcanic regions know a thing or two about good vino.

About the presenter
Ross Tefteller has been in the wine industry for well over twenty years, starting at a mom-and-pop liquor store in Galveston back when white Zinfandel was all the rage. After working in both retail and restaurants, all the while continuing his wine studies through various entities, he decided to take the plunge into the import and distribution side of the industry ten years ago. Now he finds himself the Portfolio Manager and Sales Director of a wonderful book of boutique, artisan wines from primarily the old world with a little smattering of those from the new. He believes wine is a reflection of the place from where it was made, a perfect semblance of terroir and the stewardship of the winemaker. A thing of great beauty in the right hands. He has been lucky enough in life to travel the vineyards throughout the world and he enjoys sharing his experiences and spreading the gospel of wine.
What does aperitivo italiano really mean?
An aperitivo (or apéritif) is often described as being similar to the American happy hour, but in reality, it’s so much more than that. An aperitivo is a ritual, joyous and mood-lifting. It relaxes you after a day of work and prepares you for the night to come. The aperitivo has long been a staple in Italy, and in recent years, has been gaining more appreciation around the world.
