Somm's List

Assisting guests in finding the perfect wine for their dining experience, whether it is something familiar or having them step outside their comfort zone, is what drives me. I look to gain as much knowledge and experience as possible in all capacities of the wine world.

MY LIGHT BULB MOMENT
After a night, a long one at that, of celebrating passing the Intro Exam thru CMS I had fried calamari unknowingly paired with 2001 J Schram. I had never had wine paired with food before and this totally blew my mind! Also, assisting our head sommelier with wine service while I was the assistant manager was the part of that particular job I enjoyed the most and I got in a position to focus solely on wine service.
