Champagne Master Class: Deb Lewis & Vintage59 Imports
Description
Champagne... enough said!
In a time where French wine was less than all the rage, founder Roy Cloud was asked to lead the endeavor on an importing business to bring a new portfolio into the United States. Named after an iconic year in Champagne, Vintage '59 Imports focuses on importing grower wines made by vintners that are focused on fruit and elegance rather than the commercial style wines that portray over extraction and excessive alcohol. "The rule is simple, you work with people who make you proud and whose wine you drink at home."
Deb Lewis is a part of their National Sales team representing the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest. Having seasoned experience living and working in France, running an LA city-wide art program, and finally circling into working both front and back of house in restaurants-- she landed in starting her journey in wine education as a wine buyer for establishments here in NC. Transitioning into distribution sales, she fostered relationships with many winemakers and took them with her to Vintage '59 when she joined the team.
Deb will be leading us through a lineup of some of her favorite Champagnes in their portfolio along with a delicious pairing snack to accompany your bubbles. This will be a great opportunity to try new-to-you wines, get the inside stories on each of the wineries, and ask questions to the best there is!
