About the event
This one's for the person who likes to nerd out. (We see you. We are you.)
On Friday, 10/16, Margaux Lemma, National Sales Manager for Purple Hands + Haakon/Lenai, leads a seated tasting of the full lineup. You'll hear what makes each label taste the way it does: the dirt, the farming, the winemaking style. Wine runs in Margaux's family. Her great-great grandfather owned the fifth bonded winery in Oregon, and her grandfather, father, and uncle started a fine-wine distributor in 1973. She was Purple Hands' first distributor before joining the winery in 2020, and she's been working with these wines since the 2006 vintage.
