Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW

I understand from your comments that you are a consumer and are not in the trade. If so, the best place to start your search is on Local Wine Events, which has listings for educators and wine tasting services. I did not find any specific ones for your locality, but you can find resources in Milwaukee and Madison. You could also contact a local wine shop. A Wisconsin wholesaler might be willing to conduct a tasting or to connect you with one of their suppliers (an importer or winery). There are numerous distributors who tend to have offices in the larger towns, and it's easy to find their listings online. Hope these ideas will point you in the right direction.
