MY LIGHT BULB MOMENT
In 1999 I bought a Cabernet Sauvignon from the grocery store from Alexander Valley. I noticed the distinct difference of the wine compared to a Napa Valley cab I had tasted earlier that week. I was instantly intrigued and wanted to better understand why.
I was then bitten by the wine bug and I am still lovingly exploring the whys. WHAT I'M DRINKING NOW
- Salwey Rosé, Baden, Germany
FAVORITE FOOD & WINE PAIRINGS
- Salted caramel with Banfi Brachetto D'aqui

I was given the opportunity to take over the wine program at my restaurant when I was very young. Being a buyer instantly put me in front of wines and regions I had only read about. In order to educate and inspire my staff and guests I decided to become a Sommelier through the Court of Masters in 2008.
It has been a blessing and extreme pleasure to share my passion for wine and knowledge with my colleagues, guests and close friends.
