About us
Who We Are: We are wine enthusiasts in the central Ohio area. We are called "The Dublin Wine Meetup Group". We are grateful and appreciative of Steve Petrosino, Founder Emeritus, who started the group with a few Dublin locals in November 2006. We now have members all over the city and in surrounding areas all over Ohio.
Join us to meet fellow Wine Enthusiasts near you! We have an even mix of married couples and singles. Anyone who loves wine is welcome to join our group. No invitation needed. Come to one of our local Wine Meetups to taste new wines; learn about attributes of wine; and discuss different vintages and estates. Everyone is welcome, from wine novices to educated connoisseurs (we have an even balance). We have a master sommelier in our group.

Alberto Orte has established himself as one of the next generation of premier Spanish winemakers. In addition to co-founding Olé & Obrigado, Orte is dedicated to discovering lost terroirs, resurrecting ancient clones, and replanting nearly extinct grape varieties that would otherwise be lost to modernity. His wines are produced throughout the Iberian Peninsula, most notably in Jerez, Valdeorras and Rioja. He believes that low yields, balanced soils, and top-quality raw materials are three fundamental factors to creating terroir-reflective and balanced wines. He produces two types of wines: wines of unique terroirs, the very highly rated "Alberto Orte", and wines from village- designated vineyards that are more approachable, which are labeled as "Vinos Atlántico".
Born in Madrid to a viticulture and winemaking family, Orte would spend his days picking grapes with his cousins and working at his family’s winery in Montilla Moriles. After studying law at the University of Madrid, Alberto partnered with Patrick Mata to create Olé & Obrigado. Shortly thereafter, Alberto pursued a master’s degree in viticulture at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. Mata handles the marketing and business aspects of their business in the United States and Orte oversees all viticulture and winemaking. Orte lives with his family in El Puerto de Santa Maria (Cadiz) in Jerez with his wife and six children.
