Rakesh was one of the 10 mentor’s for the Vinica AgriDiversity program in British Columbia, Canada; helping aspiring BIPOC professionals launch careers in the wine industry.

His philosophy remains that palate calibration is individually based and wine is better judged without a context. It is a completely human experience, not this intangible thing and should be fun every single day.
