This episode introduces another of our Imbibe 75 People to Watch, Linda Milagros Violago. A Canadian sommelier and wine professional who’s worked at restaurants worldwide, Violago recently relocated to Seattle to lead the wine program at Canlis, a family-run institution that dates to 1950, with an award-winning wine program more than 22,000 bottles deep. For this episode, we chat with Violago about her background in wine, what brought her to Canlis, and what she has planned for the months ahead.
