SUMMARY:Wine & Bytes: A Tech-Savvy Tasting
DESCRIPTION:The Experience \nJoin us for Wine & Bytes: A Tech-Savvy Tasting\, an event featuring elevated lite bites\, boutique wines\, and convos on the latest Veeam and IBM innovations\, all set within the beautiful tasting room at Mutiny Wine Room in The Heights! \nWhat You’ll Learn \nTogether\, Veeam and IBM enable customers to easily back up\, migrate\, recover and securely maintain long-term data backups on premises or in the IBM Cloud. With Veeam’s deep integration with IBM Spectrum Virtualize software — or in the IBM FlashSystem family of storage devices — customers can instantly leverage their current storage investments to make quick point-in-time copies of their data with little-to-no impact on production storage. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to expand your palate and network with like-minded individuals. Guests will have the opportunity to take home a bottle of their favorite sip from the night. \nAfter years of visiting wine-country locales\, Mutiny’s founders Emily Trout and Mark Ellenberger thought “Why should California have all the fun?” \nMutiny Wine Room was built to bring together a community of fine-wine consumers searching for diversity in Houston. The mission was to bring the Napa Valley wine tasting experience to the neighborhood. \nWith a dedicated Tasting Room and a full wine selection with food pairings in the Farmhouse\, Mutiny offers unique experiences. Presenting boutique wines from around the world that are unavailable in other local retail outlets\, they have selected their wines with great care and their relationships with artisan farmers and wine-makers allowing them to offer exclusivity. All wines are available by the glass or bottle. \nThe boutique nature of Mutiny’s wine program allows them to showcase new producers on a rotating basis. \n\nRegister Here to Secure Your Spot! \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
