Join Sommelier, Fearless Restaurants' Beverage Director and author, Michele Gargiulo, for a book talk and wine tasting adventure like no other as Michele pairs wines with similar characteristics to well-known dog breeds! Several wines and snacks will be provided. Wine is often mystified and too frequently arrogance is added to it. This fermented grape juice is actually a form of art, with the grapes growing in the sunshine and soaking up the weather and circumstances around them. It is one of our oldest beverages; the Roman army (and many others) marched on rations of wine, which was considered safer than water. Enjoy a bit of fun with a new twist on this age old drink. A book signing will follow the presentation.
Michele Gargiulo
Michele got her start at the Culinary Institute of America. After graduation she got her first job as a Sommelier at Savona in Philadelphia. This charming restaurant located on the Main Line of Philadelphia was founded and created by Evan Lambert, one of the founders of The American Sommelier Association and Star Wine. She worked there for four years, hosting weekly wine tastings and monthly wine dinners. During this time, she started working for Angel’s Envy as a Whiskey Guardian, where she worked for three years. From Savona she moved to Steven Starr’s Barclay Prime. Shortly after, she started working at The Four Season’s Jean Georges in Philadelphia, on top of the Comcast building. The COVID 19 pandemic hit, with her there just over a year. Michele moved down to South Carolina to manage a restaurant while the North East was shut down. During the lock-down, Michele wrote her first book: Pairing Paws: Dog Breeds and Their Spirit Wines. Pairing Paws: Cat Breeds and Their Spirit Wines is expected June 2023. She is currently the Wine & Beverage Director at the Fearless Restaurant Group, overseeing 10 restaurants in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.N/A
