In Vino Veritas: Virtual Wine Tasting, COVID-19 & the Restaurant Business
Event Date - March 10
Join us for a new series of virtual discussions (In Vino Veritas) that will combine wine discoveries with the real stories of alumni and the impact of COVID-19 on their various industries.
First up is Mark Brownell (’02) co-founder of Eat Me Restaurants with locations in Lausanne and Geneva. Mark will share his story about the effect the COVID pandemic has had on his restaurants as well as his perspective on the industry across Switzerland. Mark will be interviewed by fellow alum Steve Smith (’96).
During this informal discussion, Mark will conduct a wine tasting so you can discover some great wines while hearing his story. Mark has selected 3 exceptional Italian wines from small estates that he loves in Puglia, Tuscany, and Marche. He has worked with his partners at Alfavin.ch to create a special package for this exclusive UCLA Anderson event, featuring three full bottles of wine
