WASHINGTON (PRWEB) – Sippd, the personal wine recommender and online marketplace, has released its “Celebrating Hispanic and LatinX Wines” curation, providing users with hyper-personalized wine pairing recommendations to traditional, cultural dishes.
In collaboration with Hispanics in Wine, an organization dedicated to showcasing Hispanic and Latinx roots in the beverage and hospitality industries, the “Celebrating Hispanic and LatinX Wines” curation allows users to browse through a list of 10 popular dishes and select the best wines for their palate with Sippd’s Taste Match technology. Featuring main plates and desserts like Choripan, Sancocho, and Churros, Sippd provides consumers with their individualized Taste Match scores to wines from countries like Chile, Argentina, and Spain.
“Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to celebrate history, culture, and progress toward a more equitable and inclusive society, and I’m proud to lead a diverse team of employees who believe representation matters,” says Blake Hershey, Co-Founder and CEO of Sippd. “As a permanent curated wine list on Sippd, users will be able to shop for wines that support Hispanic and Latinx wine professionals.”
Added as an expansion of its nationwide “Shop What Matters To You” collection that aims to elevate visibility for wineries and brands cultivating diversity, inclusion and sustainability, Sippd is making it easy for consumers to support and shop based on their palate and social values. Other shoppable social causes featured on Sippd’s “Shop What Matters To You” collection include Wineries For Animal Welfare, Black-Owned Wineries, Planet-Friendly Wines and COVID-19 Relief Wineries, which consumers can explore by downloading the free app here.
Along with the addition of the “Celebrating Hispanic and LatinX Culture curation,” Sippd has also updated its seasonal curation deck, aimed toward further simplifying consumer wine purchase decisions. The “I Just Love the Seasons: Fall Edition” deck features themes like “Tailgate Wines” to help users find a light red, white, or sparkling perfect for football season and “Beyond Napa Valley” to browse wines from cooler climate wine regions like Finger Lakes and Columbia Valley, ultimately making it even easier to find the best wines at any price point for the occasion.
To support and shop the featured causes, consumers can download the Sippd app, available for free on the Apple and Google Play stores, and scroll down to “Shop By What Matters to You” on the Home page.

“We are excited to return to Paso Robles and Atascadero with what we believe will be our best festival ever,” said Doug Minnick, Garagiste Festival Co-founder. “We will celebrate the evolution of the Garagiste Festival – and how it has amplified garagiste winemakers and the garagiste movement – as well as the evolution of our birthplace and touchstone, Paso Robles, through a special seminar with Jason Haas of Paso’s Tablas Creek, the iconic winery that almost singlehandedly popularized Rhone varieties in America. But, most of all, we will celebrate reconnecting with our fantastic Garagiste Festival attendees as we introduce them to another exciting group of innovative, micro-production winemakers.”

“It was so wonderful to have our chefs and attendees back together at The Sugar Mill this year,” said Aimee Brown, NOWFE Executive Director. “Our chefs presented dishes that proved to be outstanding and a diverse culinary representation of all that our City has to offer.”
“Few business sectors were more impacted than the California dining industry, and although disappointed that we will not be able to gather this August, we know this is the right decision. With overwhelming support from the community for the 2022 event, we are confident we will successfully bring the restaurant and foodservice industry back together for an even stronger event in Los Angeles,” said Greg Topalian, CEO of Clarion Events North America, producers of the food and beverage portfolio of events. “Our events are here to support the industry as a partner, and we know this is the right decision for our community. We are confident that as the industry rebounds next year, the Western Foodservice & Hospitality Expo and Healthy Food Expo West will be the must attend events in August 2022, and overwhelming support from the vendor community points to a strong return to a live event in Los Angeles”.
Similar to the hardy nature of the liquid itself, Universal Whisky Experience showed the hospitality world it is as resilient as the luxury whisky expressions served at the Nth 2021. Master Blenders and Ambassadors from House of Hardy, Dalmore, House of Dewar’s, Royal Salute, Gordon & MacPhail, Chivas Bros, William Grant & Sons, and Glenturret presented rare whiskies from around the globe. Representation of these famous brands were both in-person and live-stream. Although its typical at the Nth for physical appearances from these international brand celebrities, they were there in spirit, no pun intended. Many shared their passion in the wee hours of the morning from private residences overseas, still in shut down, demonstrating true loyalty to the spirit industry!
Vinexpo America is a repositioning of the former Vinexpo New York, which for three years served as the premier international exhibition for wine and spirits professionals in North America before a 2021 pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In its new form, Vinexpo America will focus exclusively on wines, with representation from all of the world’s top-producing regions.
“While the restaurant and hospitality industry has been hit hard by the global pandemic, we are thrilled to see the light at the end of the tunnel and make plans to bring the industry together in both Anaheim and Orlando,” said Tom Loughran, Vice President for the Clarion Events Food & Beverage Group. “As a way for us to support the industry we are picking up the check and offering free registration to all qualified foodservice professionals who will have access to our new education program offering five Summits as well as to the trade show floor which will showcase industry vendors and aisles of new products and services.”
