Pierre Costa

I am a Brazilian born sommelier with international background. I started my wine career as bartender in a small Italian restaurant in Notting Hill, London. When I went back to Brazil, my first project was to build a 10.000 bottles wine cellar at Café Journal in Sao Paulo that would become one of the best wine bars in South America. Years passed, I moved to Ireland to become the head sommelier for the star Michelin restaurant Bon Appetit in Dublin.  In the same year, I had an article published by Decanter magazine.  A few years later, I moved to Napa and joined Inglenook in 2014 as Wine Educator and shortly after I was promoted to Sales.  It was good way to come back to wine and I ended up winning the Top Taster blind wine tasting competition at Flavor! Napa Valley in the same year. As a Certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers and currently a WSET Diploma student, I hold a Masters in Electronic-Business from University College Dublin and Mathematics degree from Sao Paulo State University. 
Now I have my own consultancy combining my two passions: wine and digital marketing.
