La Mesa means "the table" in Spanish. It is around the table that you sit with friends and enjoy wine and food. And that was the inspiration behind the name...
Despite achieving an Italian Wine Specialist Certification from the North American Sommelier Association, one can never get too much information about the wines from Italy. With 20 regions and 3000 varietals, really mastering the wines of Italy is on on-going process.

Seminar 1: Wines of Puglia
Led by Alessia Botturi of the North American Sommelier Association and Vito Palumbo of Tormaresca.
