About this Event
he influence of women in the world of wine is increasing exponentially across the world. Women who are making inroads into every aspect of wine making and sales are inspiring others to do the same.
We are excited to welcome Erin Grace, Director of Wine & Spirits for Select Sellars of New Glarus, Wisconsin. In her presentation, she will focus on her experience and on the key role women have played and are playing in the wine industry, stepping into more management and primary roles in both family wineries and large corporations.
Erin Grace began her professional career as a chef, working in catering and restaurants in Chicago. After careers in retail wine sales and import brand management, she is now using her understanding of tradition and the historical nature of multi-generational wine families to create bonds between small vineyard winemakers and wine enthusiasts.
Select Sellars is a growing wine distributor focused on forging and maintaining strong, collaborative, and personal relationships with growers and customers. Featuring many handcrafted wines and spirits, they have expanded from their start in the Pacific Northwest to encompass other American wine regions and imports from Europe and South America.
Erin will present both domestic and imported wines to pair with the courses provided at the meal.
Please join us for what is sure to be an amazing dinner and an opportunity to celebrate women in wine. Also, dinner attendees will be able to order all of the featured wines** for their own entertaining during the holiday season.
