Vive la France! Last weekend some FOTA friends came together to learn about French wines at the Total Wine & More location. Our Executive Director, John Venezia, and Director of Development, Melissa Wetzel, kicked off the evening talking about FOTA patient programs and building community. Then, our Total Wine expert, Austin, gave us quite an education through lively discussion surrounding different French regions, varietals, and more, all while we enjoyed lite bites and refreshments. It was a lovely summer evening spent among friends.
