Tia Carrere, fourth from left, was on the way to an open-air wine symposium Aug. 21 at the Kahala Hotel & Resort when she and Angela Laprete noticed hotel staffers were carrying 10 wine glasses in one hand. Carrere was so intrigued by their dexterity that she put off going to the symposium until Gerard Javier, left, Joe Ely and Renfred Riemedio showed her how to do it.
