We held a fun and educational virtual gathering of global business people to network while enjoying their favorite Wine from Around the World. It's part of the Global Chamber® monthly virtual dining series, we call "Wine with Leaders Around the World".
We assembled the global tribe with wine and business experts to share their thoughts about keeping up and staying ahead at any business gatherings.
Watch the conversation on protocol HERE.
We discussed general and specific topics including...
- Glassware selection
- How to properly hold a wine glass
- Wine selection guidelines and food pairings
- Tablescape … wine glass placement on a formal multi-course meal
- Rules of wine tastings
- Wine temperature when serving and ice
- The ritual of toasting
I was pleased to share my thoughts, with primary contributions from several people including Zach Selch. Thank you all! I'm Gloria Petersen, member of the global tribe, long-time member of Global Chamber®, serving on the Global Chamber® Phoenix advisory board, and facilitating the book author series at Global Chamber® as well!
Join us next time on July 28th (Americas) and July 29th (Tokyo / East Asia) for the next Wine with Leaders globinar with a focus on sake. Join us HERE with special keynote speaker Kyoko Nagano.
