America 250 Series: An Evening with Fred Reno

Join us for an evening with Fred Reno, a wine industry veteran of more than four decades and author of Fine Wine Confidential, an insider memoir packed with untold stories and, mostly, a Tell-All from the growth of the modern-day American wine industry.

Today, Fred is the Founder and CEO of The Thomas Jefferson Wine Company in Charlottesville and remains a passionate advocate for wine education and appreciation.

As part of our America 250 celebration series, Fred will share stories from a lifetime in wine, offering a unique perspective on the personalities and relationships that helped shape the modern American wine industry.

Following the talk, guests will have the opportunity to ask questions and have a copy of his book signed. Books will be available for purchase or guests may bring a copy they already own.
