Vitro Uncorked: Grab a glass and join National Architectural Manager Chris Fronsoe for a tasting of wines that pair well with Thanksgiving foods.

Developed for design professionals, Vino with Vitro is a free, virtual drink-and-learn event that will review foundational wine tasting concepts used by experts in the field. Our Northwest region National Architectural Manager—and resident sommelier—Chris Fronsoe will explore wine flavor characteristics, as well as how and why they pair well with foods. Attendees will also learn about the parallels between evaluating wines and glass options, all of which have their unique chemistries, nuances and stories.
