Comer over in October


The coming together of Come Over in October

Utmost congratulations to Karen MacNeil, Kimberly Charles, Gino Colangelo, Guadalupe Escurra for teaming up and setting clarity of the motivations behind the Come Over in October initiative in allowing for the positive footprint of wine conviviality to surface further.

A history of bringing people together

Come over October is akin to drawing a the line from which the wine community should be advancing.
– Being combative against having wine being reduced to just an alcohol narrative
– Unwaivering to the further ignoring of moderate wine drinking, and finally
– The desire to celebrate wine’s 11,000 year history of bringing people together

Congrats & Welcome! Come Together For Wine where professionals can also connect.

Let’s Plan something this Coming October. Yes we’ll bring some wine!

More information:
COME TOGETHER—A Community for Wine! COME TOGETHER was created to tell the story of the positive role moderate wine consumption plays in society and community. Wine has been a culturally significant beverage for centuries. It’s been shared at some of the most momentous occasions in history, and continues to be a part of the most important moments in our lives.

Wine in Moderation – A single global message to reduce harm and inspire moderation when drinking wine. A social responsibility program launched in 2008 by the European wine sector to demonstrate social responsibility and managed by the WiM Association. Tailored by each culture and community where it is introduced.

A new grape day winewednesday

Fresh new day coming on December 1st – Maratheftiko Day.

You may think…geez…how original!? Well….Grape days may no longer be top of mind, and that’s ok, granted that the concept of grape days has been around for more 40 years, one does have to take things with a certain perspective.

Yet may I ask…Chardonnay Day, who owns that?

Unlike most popular grape days with varieties spread the world across, a Maratheftiko Grape Day has still the opportunity to be claimed locally and emerge as a day for appreciation of something one does own, cherishes and values….and when it does go International…more power to the grape, the growers, the winemakers, the traders and the winelovers. Yia Mas.
