The crazy season of tasting is upon us!

Please join me in the following cities for events where I’ll be speaking and pouring. Thanks for your support! I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you. Thank you!

Abruzzo Seminar
Houston
Tuesday, April 30

I’m leading a guided tasting of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo for the Abruzzo consortium. Even if you’ve attended my Abruzzo seminar in the past, you might be surprised by how I’ve expanded the talk. Here’s the link to reserve.

Abruzzo Dinner
Atlanta
Thursday, May 2

I’m so stoked to return to Atlanta, one of my favorite places in the U.S. Please DM me (jparzen [at] gmail) if you’d like to attend the Abruzzo dinner we are doing at Chef Pat Pascarella’s Alici. He’s doing a killer Abruzzo menu. The event is open only to trade and is free. This will be a super fun event.

Friuli Seminar
Houston
Tuesday, May 7

I’ll be pouring a wonderful flight of Friulian wines at my new Houston wine bar home, Vinsanto, on the west side. There’s a nominal fee of $30 (the wines aren’t cheap!). 7 p.m. start time. Please DM me to reserve (jparzen [at] gmail). I’ve only done one of these so far but the crowd was lovely.

Top Drop
Vancouver
Monday-Tuesday, May 13-14

I still can’t believe that I’ve been asked to be the keynote speaker at this year’s Top Drop festival in Vancouver. SO looking forward to this trip and immensely grateful to the organizers for including me. My talk is Monday, May 13, and then I’ll be hanging at the grand tasting all day on Tuesday, May 14. Let’s taste! And wow, feeling #blessed. Click here for info.

Sicily Dinner @ Rossoblu
Los Angeles
Wednesday, May 15

It’s meant so much to me to work with Rossoblu in LA where I was wine director when the now landmark restaurant opened way back when. We have an amazing flight of Sicilian wines lined up and Chef Steve Samson (my great friend since college) kills it when it comes to Sicilian cuisine. This will be another super fun one. Here’s the link to reserve.

Thank you for your support!
