The Summit aims to promote awareness of Nikkei winemakers and wine growers who will share their stories and the discovery of the Nikkei wine heritage in America. By continuing to introduce fine wines to its audience, JACCC seeks to build community with wine enthusiasts interested in the growing diversity of the U.S. wine industry. The Summit’s panel discussions will occur in JACCC’s Toshizo Watanabe Culinary Cultural Center and conclude with a walk-around grand tasting in its George J. Doizaki Gallery.
