This Afternoon With OLLI presentation is a conversation with Dick Scheer, Distinguished Wine Merchant and owner of Ann Arbor’s Village Corner

Village Corner is an Ann Arbor institution. This wine shop has one of the most extensive wine selections in the area, with 5000 carefully selected wines, 600 spirits, 150 beers, 350 cigars and much more.

Dick Scheer has been the celebrated owner and President of Village Corner, Inc. for 50 years, and has been referred to as one of the most knowledgeable wine experts in the state. In conversation with Bev Geltner, we’ll learn about Dick’s interest in and expert knowledge of wines, and his decades-long history at the Village Corner. We’ll learn a lot about different wines, and perhaps a few ghost stories as well.

He has taught wine appreciation seminars for the Ann Arbor Arts Center, as well as programs sponsored by the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University. Dick is also Director of the Ann Arbor Tasters Guild and Ann Arbor Wine Club.
