Midwest Wine Press publisher Mark Ganchiff  loves Midwest wine.  Now he’s developed an entertaining presentation highlighting the colorful history of Midwest wine along with details of the exciting new wines from the region’s top wineries.

Did you know that the first commercial vineyard in the United States was in Kentucky? Or that the first wine grape grower in northern California got his start in Wisconsin? We’ll revisit these and other historic Midwest wine locations and explain how you can visit them too.

Ganchiff’s presentation, “America’s First Wine Region” is perfect for groups interested in learning about the latest wines and wine tourism ideas in the Midwest. If you think you’ve heard it all about wine, you will be surprised to learn how much influence the Midwest has had on the world’s second oldest beverage. With new varieties and technologies at their disposal, Midwestern winemakers are now reclaiming their position as an important global wine producing region.

“Mark Ganchiff’s presentation ‘America’s First Wine Region” is equal parts entertaining and informative. Having worked in the Illinois wine industry for five years, I was surprised by how much of his material was new to me. Mark delivers the information in an engaging, trivia-show format that keeps the audience engaged throughout. And his light-hearted, easy-going personality makes it a breeze to work with him.”
