Wine Wars: The Curse of the Blue Nun and the Miracle of Two Buck Chuck
The World Trade Center Tacoma is pleased to announce that our third session in this monthly series will feature Mike Veseth, Robert G. Albertson Professor of International Political Economy at the University of Puget Sound. Dr. Veseth (a.k.a. “The Wine Economist” and author of wine book of the year Wine Wars) will discuss the forces that are reshaping the world of wine: globalization, which creates a confusing embarrassment of riches for wine drinkers, the growth of branded wines that simplify the choice (but do they oversimplify the wine itself?) and the “terroirists” who fight back to preserve wine’s soul. How will this battle turn out? Whose idea of wine will reign supreme? Veseth will explain why he has “grape expectations” for the future of wine, with special emphasis on globalization and international trade.

Location will be announced shortly and will be emailed to registered attendees.
