Ordering Wine with Confidence

Presented by Vicki Miller of Vinocity

After this fun and interactive event, you will be confident selecting wine from a wine list when entertaining a client, hosting a party, or just buying a bottle of wine to enjoy at home! You'll learn the major wine styles, food and wine pairing tips, and the important components in wine that affect the body, flavor, color, and yes, even the scent.

Being prepared for an emergency requires more than simply having a written plan sitting on the shelf or in your document management system. It requires a well-orchestrated response from many people throughout your firm. Will you and your team members know how to respond to the specific emergency, and will you be able to communicate that effectively to the lawyers and staff in your office and at your firm?
