Follow Our Lead with Alaina Kearney

In today's episode of “Follow our Lead with Alaina Kearney,” we’re joined by Carley Razzi, President of Penns Woods Winery. It was founded in 2001 by Carley’s father, Gino Razzi, an Italian immigrant and veteran. He was a well-respected importer and distributor before crafting his own wine using Penns Woods’ grapes.
