Guest Speaker Reggie Narito, MS“Old World vs. New World Wines”

Reggie Narito is one of only 96 people in the United States and one of only three Filipino-Americans to hold the prestigious title of Master Sommelier. A native of Alameda, Reggie began his career in the restaurant business at the age of 17. He has worked for noted Bay Area restaurants such as Stars in San Francisco, Le Papillon in San Jose and the Plumed Horse in Saratoga. He has served as consultant on numerous wine programs throughout Northern California.

Reggie is currently employed with Southern Wine & Spirits of Northern California as the Director of Training & Prestige Account Specialist. We are very fortunate to have him as our guest speaker. He will discuss with us how two wines made from the same grape variety can be completely different depending on where in the world they originated. Reggie will also include a bit of food pairing to help us better understand the term “food wine”, which is how people in many old world countries view wine. It should be quite an interesting and illuminating evening.
