Sommelier and Wine on Wheels Founder Yannick Benjamin
Drink some good wine with an expert somm and a young, talented vigneron AND support a good cause by watching our Fundraiser VeroTalk. Featuring wines from our Spanish estate winery, Ecce Vinum, this VeroTalk was a fundraiser moderated by Yannick Benjamin, Head Sommelier at The University Club, co-founder of Wine on Wheels and opening up his first restaurant, Contento NYC.
While exploring the region of Castilla La Mancha, Spain with Ecce Vinum founder, owner and winemaker Moises Casas, Yannick guided us in a tasting of two of Ecce Vinum’s organic and vegan wines, a white Verdejo and red Tempranillo. Moises believes in creating wines that truly sing the flavors and scents of the region: using native yeasts and artisanal techniques, he has created some wonderful wines that ‘over deliver for the price’ (as our clients say).
20% of wine sale proceeds of the Ecce Vinum Tasting Set will go to support Wine on Wheels which Yannick co-founded after experiencing first hand the challenges people with disabilities face after he was paralyzed in an accident. Working with wine lovers and wine industry professionals, Wine with Wheels is dedicated to connecting people to empower people with disabilities to follow their passions.
