 Arlene & Michael D’Alessandro
The D’Alessandro’s chose Naples as their retirement home in 1994 after having spent the majority of their adult life in Chicago and Dallas. Michael is a former executive of a premier global beverages company, and has more than 30 years international experience purchasing and marketing fine wines.
The D’Alessandros have traveled extensively, and are true food and wine lovers. They have long been collectors of wine as well as active members of numerous international societies devoted to the pursuit of fine food and wine.
In 1996, the D’Alessandros founded the Naples Wine Warehouse, Inc., a unique private wine buying and consulting service for serious wine connoisseurs and collectors. Their involvement in the Naples Children and Education Foundation, evolves from their desire to utilize the power of food and wine to develop significant funds for local charities, their strong belief that the greatest societal impact comes from programs focusing on the youth of our community, as well as their five year active association with the former Youth Haven Wine Auction.
The D’Alessandros feel that it is their responsibility as citizens to utilize their personal expertise to help enrich the community as a whole.
