We are excited to kick-off —The Road to Homecoming and ignite Poet spirit bringing the Whittier family together thru a series of events. Why wait until October to start, let’s celebrate by raising a glass of wine with Lori Budd ’90. Join us as Lori discusses all things wine and cuts through the confusing jargon and the science behind wine. Get a behind the scenes look at what it takes to run a winery. She’ll never tell you what to drink but she will always share what’s in her glass. Lori will be conducting a wine tasting explaining the WSET tasting grid. You may participate by purchasing wine bottles or wine tasters in advance at https://dracaenawines.square.site/whittier or simply pour yourself a glass of your favorite beverage and toast with us!
