About this Event

The Spring GRAND Portfolio Tasting

Join us for a large-scale portfolio tasting featuring 60 hand-selected wines from two outstanding importer portfolios: Élevage Wine Co. and Martine’s Wine Imports.

This special event gives wine lovers a rare opportunity to explore an extraordinary range of wines from around the world — all in one place.

Guests will be able to taste freely across multiple pouring stations featuring wines from classic and emerging regions including France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Germany, and California.

Expect everything from crisp mineral-driven whites and expressive Old World reds to rosé, sparkling wines, and a few bottles that may surprise you.


Meet the Importers

We’re excited to welcome two wine professionals who represent these exceptional portfolios.

Scott Forrest – Martine’s Wine Imports

Jannae Lizza brings more than 20 years of experience building award-winning restaurant wine programs, most recently serving as General Manager and Wine Director at the celebrated Monterey Peninsula restaurant Passionfish, where the wine program was recognized by the James Beard Foundation as a semifinalist for Outstanding Wine Program.

Now part of the team at Élevage Wine Co., she helps connect restaurants and retailers with thoughtfully curated wines from some of the country’s most respected importers.
