Enjoy a private wine tasting for four people and wine tasting of eight (8) hand selected wines from across the world by Yannick Benjamin at his soon to be opened Contento Restaurant in NYC along with tapas to be perfectly paired with the wines. Yannick has been recognized among Wine Enthusiast's Top 40 under 40 and was named Person of the Year by New Mobility Magazine in 2017. He was the resident sommelier on the hit radio show "On The Town with Michael Riedel" on AM 970 The Answer and has made multiple appearances on ABC, NBC, and CBS. In 2015, Yannick starred in "Uncorked," a documentary series about sommeliers on Esquire TV. Jancis Robinson of the Financial Times calls Benjamin "the new star of New York's gastronomic firmament" and The Wine Spectator talks about Benjamin revealing a "kinder, gentler side of the profession." The story of Yannick's journey and the success of Wheeling Forward have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Village Voice, Wine Spectator, Financial Times, and Forbes. Yannick's tireless work and innovative vision is bringing awareness and visibility to seldom-heard voices in the wine industry and championing inclusivity. Yannick will bring his energy and passion to East Harlem as he plans on opening his first restaurant, Contento in Spring 2020. Contento will be a barrier free restaurant where wine and food come together and where they share a story of who we are, history, psychology, social needs, and where social sustainability will be practiced and where they also plan to utilize their experiences and location to offer enriched programs that will enhance the quality of life for people living with disabilities.
