Wine Down Wednesday is back and will help you set the exciting tone needed for your personal life and business in 2021!

As we focus on exciting events ahead in 2021, we'll be helping you reset, set new goals and create strategies to achieve those goals. We'll be hosting an event every other week that blends networking, professional development from speaker presentations, and of course, tastings of your favorite wine (or beverage).
