MIAMI, FL – April 1, 2016 – (HISPANICIZE WIRE) – Hispanicize 2016, the definitive US Hispanic influencer event just got more social with curated wine education and tasting session content from HipLatina, culinary expert Chef Susie Jimenez, and brand partner Palm Bay International.
According to Chef Susie, “US Hispanics are more familiar with other beverage categories including beer, rum, and tequila, but wine represents sophistication and is aspirational. The fact is, wine is meant to be fun, appreciated, and enjoyed with food. Hosted by wine experts, the sessions are designed to remove any apprehension and make wine approachable by delivering hip yet educational foundations in wine enjoyment.” Chef Susie from Next Food Network – Season 7, is a graduate of the California Culinary Academy and the owner of Spice It Up Catering in Aspen, CO. She is passionate about teaching others to cook using a variety of techniques and flavors, and pair them with the perfect wines.
Palm Bay International’s portfolio of wines featured represents brands from regions including: Argentina, Chile, Portugal, and Spain. “HipLatina expects this culturally authentic experience to fully resonate with the influencer audience of ambicultural Latinas,” said HipLatina Co-Founder and wine industry expert Lisa Cavalli.
