Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) has introduced its 鈥淰ino with Vitro鈥 wine education series, a bimonthly virtual drink-and-learn event that pairs an expert-guided wine tasting class with key themes related to specifying glass products.
The 鈥淰ino with Vitro鈥 event series was developed for design professionals as a free opportunity to learn about foundational wine tasting concepts used by experts in the field.
鈥淰ino with Vitro鈥 events are hosted by Chris Fronsoe, national architectural manager, Vitro Architectural Glass, and a certified wine educator and sommelier. For each event, Fronsoe selects two to three wines that attendees can readily purchase online or from wine suppliers nationwide and guides them through an interactive tasting session.
鈥淲ine and glass are the perfect pairing,鈥 said Fronsoe. 鈥淭here are many parallels between evaluating wines and understanding architectural glass products, which all have their unique chemistries, nuances and stories that offer different benefits to different types of projects.鈥
Each month, 鈥淰ino with Vitro鈥 features a unique theme for its bimonthly sessions. In March, attendees will take a virtual journey through Italy, exploring three well-known regional varieties of Italian wine and learning about their compositions, origins, aromas and beyond. April attendees will take an in-depth look at pinot noirs, and in May, Fronsoe will feature three popular varieties of white wines.
The next 鈥淰ino with Vitro鈥 event will take place on Thursday, March 25 at 6 p.m. (EST). Participants who will receive a list of recommended wines to purchase along with a downloadable placemat that guides their tasting experience.
鈥淥ver the past year, we all have learned the importance of staying connected, both professionally and personally,鈥 added Fronsoe. 鈥淲e hope 鈥榁ino with Vitro鈥 is a nice change of pace for the architectural community in how they interact with manufacturers.鈥
