Renée Sferrazza is a true connoisseur of wine - a writer, host, and sommelier whose passion for grapes and the delicious nectar they produce is a lifelong dedication. As the founder of @WinebyRenee, one of the largest social media accounts in Canada dedicated to wine, Renée has established herself as a prominent figure in the industry.
Renée's innovative concept of 'academic drinking' is at the forefront of today's episode of Cast of Creators, where the crew is privileged to learn a thing or two about vino. We discover that the Ontario red wine we're tasting is best enjoyed at room temperature, perfectly paired with duck or light meat, and of course, shared with good company.
This content is a feast for the senses, from delightful "champagneskis" to the finest proseccos, exciting global travels to living in Italy, and heartfelt industry shoutouts to actual wine tastings. It is sure to tantalize your palate and leave you thirsting for more.
