Sampling wines from around the world can be a great way to get a taste of other cultures!

This year our WorldFest virtual wine tasting event will focus on wines from Mexico, which is an exciting, up and coming place that is producing excellent wines in a wide variety of styles.

Max Murphy and his wife , Kenya, the founders of Tozi Imports, will lead us through a wine tasting accompanied by information about Mexican wine regions, history and culture.
