Connecticut Distributors, Inc. (CDI), celebrated the launch of Francis Ford Coppola Winery’s latest addition, Shimmer, a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio, at Riverview Bistro in Stratford on March 7. The CDI sales team enjoyed an exclusive kickoff meeting featuring a presentation led by Eliza Vogt, Area Sales Manager, Delicato Family Wines. Attendees took a deep dive into the winemaking process behind Shimmer, followed by a tasting session. The event featured accompanying cuisine and a photo booth. “We’re absolutely thrilled to kick off this exclusive item with our partners at Delicato,” said Corrissa Wilson, Business Manager, CDI. “The timing couldn’t be better, with the weather warming up. This one is perfect for consumers looking for something light and fresh; it’s like summer in a bottle.” Sourced from select vineyards in California’s cooler regions, Coppola Diamond Collection Shimmer is crafted to be effortlessly refreshing, with notes of white blossom, honeydew, pineapple and fresh citrus, balanced by flavors of white peach, tangerine and lemongrass.
