About the Talk: The talk is a roughly 30-60 minute presentation about how to order a better bottle of wine at a restaurant for lower price. Time will vary based on guest engagement.
About James Mallios: Managing partner, sommelier and part-time comedian James Mallios will lead the talk. James was described by Decanted Magazine and Eater.com as "about a hundred miles from the stereotypical sommelier. He’s bald,
brash, and tough—a sort of Greek version of Tony Soprano who looks more likely to kneecap you than pour you a glass of natural wine”. James has spoken about wine, restaurants and sustainable business practices at the 92nd Street Y,
Columbia Law School and at The Cornell University Hotel School.

Calissa reserves the right to reschedule the event up to 24 hours before the event. While this has only happened on a handful of occasions, we do want to bring this to the attention of our guests as without that ability we would not be able to donate to almost 200 school and other charities each year. We endeavor to schedule wine tasting gift certificates on days when this is least likely to occur to avoid this possible situation from the outset of scheduling.
