Sixteen years after graduating from RIT, I’m incredibly proud and grateful to share that I’m returning as Visiting Lecturer, Hospitality & Tourism Management Saunders College of Business 🧡🖤

I’ve worked hard for this moment, and truthfully, I’ve wanted this opportunity ever since I graduated. To finally see that goal become a reality is incredibly meaningful.

I’m grateful for the journey, everyone who supported me along the way, and the chance to give back to the university that helped shape me. 🥂🫶
Special shout out to Lorraine Hems 🙏🫶🍾

An afternoon that transported us to Friuli-Venezia Giulia, one glass and one bite at a time. 🇮🇹🍷

We began with the sparkle of Prosecco alongside Prosciutto di San Daniele, melon, olives, and peppercorn cheese — a beautiful introduction to the flavors of FVG.

From there, each pairing unfolded like another chapter: delicate scallops with Ribolla Gialla, the warmth and character of Frico Caldo with Collio Bianco, and deeply savory short ribs alongside CiallAROSSO and Refosco.
The evening ended with something sweet — Moscato “Exenthia” accompanying burrata with fruit and, of course, tiramisu.

FVG, on the Slovenian border of Italy, was challenging to source wines from… really interesting styles of wine, indigenous grapes, and memorable experience. 🥂

More than a wine lunch, it was a little journey through a region rich in tradition, terroir, and incredible hospitality. The best part? Experiencing it together, around the table, where food and wine have a way of turning an evening into a memory. ❤️🥂

Grazie, FVG, for the inspiration.
