Wine industry icons will share "real life" insight into the wine industry on Tuesday, Nov. 13 from 5-7 p.m. at Sonoma State University. Speakers include Gina Gallo of Gallo of Sonoma, Erle Martin of Niebaum~Coppola, Peter Mondavi of Charles Krug, and Greg Scott of Pricewaterhouse Coopers. Patrick Wofford from Benchmark Consulting will be the moderator.
Besides the obvious allure, speakers will also share their views of the daily working world of the industry. Topics will include what attracted them to the industry, skills needed to succeed in the wine industry, and what they would do differently if starting over.
SSU's Wine Business Program is sponsoring this informational session for students interested in earning a bachelor's degree in business with an emphasis in the wine industry. A reception will follow, where attendees can discuss issues relating to the Wine Business Program with wine industry professionals and university faculty. Space is limited.
