Wine Tastings & Courses
I bring wine to life through curated tastings and education. From private dinners to corporate events, I create experiences that entertain, inspire, and deepen appreciation for wine—whether a regional deep dive, blind tasting, or multi-course pairing.
Cellar Organization & Appraisal
Keep your collection organized and valuable with professional inventory setup, digital cataloguing, and regular upkeep. We provide appraisals for insurance, resale, or auction, and cellar grading to ensure optimal storage and drinking windows—so your cellar evolves seamlessly with every new acquisition.
Beverage Direction
Elevate your program with fractional beverage director services. We help craft distinctive, profitable wine and beverage lists, optimize supplier strategies, and train staff to deliver exceptional service through audits and seasonal program development.
Art Gallery / Event Wine Programs
Transform events into cultural experiences with curated wine programs that pair art, culture, and wine. From exhibition pairings to thematic tastings, we spark conversation, enhance storytelling, and create memorable sensory journeys
