In honor and recognition of LGBTQ+/Pride Month, celebrated in June, this month’s Empower Hour will feature BACP Chief Small Business Officer Lotika Pai chatting with Seth Wilson, Co-Founder of Le Midi. Le Midi, located in Wicker Park is a wine shop with a rotation of 250 labels, allowing customers to explore some of the top wines of Europe and beyond. It also features a small, exciting mix of craft spirits, beer, and sake. For those looking to enjoy a glass of wine, the shop offers an evolving wine glass list of over 20 selections and remarkable bites. Seth, a wine professional in Chicago for 15 years, shares his cultural and culinary knowledge with Le Midi patrons. The culmination of his professional and personal experiences taught him to prioritize the art of hospitality and to learn his guests’ needs intimately before guiding them to the perfect bottle of wine. The candid conversation will cover the start and growth of the business, professional education, product selection and community engagement. The webinar will end with a Q&A for attendees to ask questions.
