Description

An Evening with Pray Tell: Meet the Winemaker, Tom Caruso and Wine Tasting When Tom Caruso was a kid, he helped his grandfather make wine on a city sidewalk in Philadelphia — ironically on the corner of Oregon Avenue. They would source grapes from local farms and use a small hand crank destemmer and basket press (which he still has to this day). In adulthood, try as he might to find another career path, the inevitable reality sunk in when a few years into a job as a book editor in New York City, he decided to drop everything and focus on wine. Tom worked night shifts for a winery in Brooklyn and enrolled in an intensive sommelier school where his eyes were opened to the world of amazing wines. From New York to Sonoma to the Willamette Valley, Tom has spent years working with some amazing winemakers, farmers, and mentors. With a head full of ideas and a desire to explore his own creativity, he started Pray Tell — a little corner of the region he loves most where he continues to nurture his earnest curiosity of fermented grape juice and feed his pug. Join us for an incredible evening exploring Pray Tell wines with a seated tasting. We will be enjoying 4 wines all while chatting with Tom as he walks us through the nuances of each bottle. This will be a fun, interactive event.
