The Taub Family has been importing wine from Italy since 1977. David Taub founded his company with the goal of introducing the American consumer to the undiscovered wonders of Italian wines. Mr. Taub is credited with the introduction of Pinot Grigio to the U.S. and was instrumental in building it’s popularity amongst wine drinkers. Today Taub Family Selections imports over 90 different estates from around the world, but the focus of the portfolio continues to be on the wines of Italy.
Join Josh Prados, Texas State Manager at Taub Family Selections. Certified Sommelier, Certified Specialist of Wine (CSW), WSET Level III, French Wine Scholar and Jerry Reid, Southern Glazers Wine & Spirits Italian Wine Specialist as they discuss a lineup of fantastic wines.

About the IMBIBE Series
IMBIBE means to consume or absorb – and that’s exactly what you’ll do in our classes . . . consume and absorb wine, food, and knowledge. IMBIBE takes place every week, alternating between Wednesdays and Thursdays at 6pm (unless otherwise noted). These classes are a ton of fun and loaded with great education! Our members have told us that Wednesdays and Thursdays are their favorite days of the week because they love these virtual tastings so much!
