“Wine has always been my passion and I’m thrilled to share this passion through my new educational series. “It’s the Wine Talking”, said DeWitt. “For the last few years I’ve traveled, been inspired and learned from the best winemakers in the world and I’m thankful to share my knowledge and build a community of enthusiastic wine lovers. Bingham House is the perfect setting for my first ‘It’s The Wine Talking’ event with its breezy porches and intimate space. We will explore different varietals while enjoying a quality prix fixe menu created by the team at Vestal’s Catering. I look forward to meeting other local wine enthusiasts while we explore how wine speaks to us.”
