Wine Wizards celebrated its 20th anniversary serving the Rhode Island market with a spring trade tasting at Agawam Hunt Country Club in East Providence on April 28. Staff from Wine Wizards’ sales team, along with visiting supplier representatives, were in attendance to pour the latest wine and spirits selections for restaurant and retail trade guests, including wines from Beaujolais, Burgundy, Chile, Georgia and Slovenia. Guests paired imported cheeses with wine selections. “We’re proud to have reached this milestone and appreciate the opportunity to continue representing our importer and producer partners in Rhode Island. We’re grateful for the support shown by Rhode Island wine shops, restaurants, and bars of our small, local business,” said Kristen Zeiser, on behalf of Nick and Barbara Zeiser, Owners and Founders of family-run Wine Wizards.
