This path rewarded me with an understanding of what wine really is\\u2026a centerpiece of gatherings with families and friends; something to facilitate celebration. When visiting family wineries in Europe, I found the experience to be like an invitation to a family gathering, and I admired the passion of the winemakers for their craft. I launched Wide Roots to bring the essence of this experience to more wine drinkers, hoping to help them in unlocking this world much the same way that I did for myself. I am certified by Vinitaly International Academy as an Italian Wine Ambassador. I am also the subject of Wine Hunter, a documentary that follows my journey launching Wide Roots and my travels through the vineyards of Italy.\\u201d\\nConnect:\\nWebsite:\\xa0www.widerootsllc.com/wide-roots-llc/\\nYoutube:\\xa0www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnO0yzn91YA\\nLinkedIn:\\xa0www.linkedin.com/in/russlorber/\\n_______________________________\\nLet's keep in touch!
