Family Business

HOUSTON, TX- April 10 After dropping Linda off at the airport for her trip to Chicago, I headed downtown to have lunch with our rep here Arnold Gilberg and with Suzi Zivanovic, the corporate sommelier for Perry's Restaurant Group. Perry's is family-owned like AVV and has grown to about eight restaurants throughout the area. They were named one of the country's best steakhouses by Wine Enthusiast a few years ago. We tasted Suzi on the entire lineup of wines and she was very keen on several of them. In addition she was interested in doing wine dinners, which I agreed to do in the fall. In the wine business one sales trip inevitably begets two additional sales trips.
