For over ten years, I have been helping people become more savvy with wine, spirits and food. From my renowned YouTube series to the hundreds of private groups I’ve led, my laid-back approach has helped thousands of people learn how to bring wine, spirits and food back to everyday life - without the pretense or snobbery so often associated with the finer things. If you'd like to hear what some of my past groups have said about me, see the Quotes page.

 

Virtual Wine Tastings: Safe, Affordable and Engaging!

Can you still have a wine tasting party in the time of COVID-19? Of course, it just means thinking outside of the box, or outside the house, as it were. Let’s do a Zoom tasting event with your group of friends and loved ones!

How it works:

  1. We do a consult call to find out your wants and needs,

  2. I suggest which wines we might drink,

  3. You and your group buy the wines online from my online partners and have them shipped direct,

  4. I provide a list of food pairings and suggestions for your guests to purchase,

  5. We conduct the tasting in a private Zoom event, on a designated date/time.

PRICING: $250 FLAT RATE
(Wines and Food Not Included)

It's All About Relationships

Wine is a social lubricant that inspires conversation and creativity: No idea is off the table, as far as I'm concerned. Let’s talk!
