Lauren Deese, the executive director of Charlotte Wine + Food, talked with us about what else people can expect from the 2022 event.
Then, we put our wine tasting skills to the test with Sara Guterbock, a sommelier and one of the leaders of the Women in Wine Seminar that’s happening on April 30 at 3 p.m. as part of Charlotte Food + Wine.
