I move fluidly between food + wine worlds.

I understand natural wine culture, classic wine culture, and operational realities of restaurants and bars.

I’m as obsessively curious about people as I am about wine: what different clientele want, where they want discovery and where they want the classics, what sells in a neighborhood bistro versus a Michelin-starred tasting menu.

The result is work that is deeply knowledgeable and customized, whoever you are.

Wine Program Consulting

For restaurants, wine bars & hospitality groups looking to improve guest experience, increase wine sales, and create memorable programs.

Every wine program is different.

I work around what you actually need - whether that's a full rebuild, a quick audit, a reformat, or just getting the cellar in order.

  • Wine list build & curation

  • Margin analysis & profitability review

  • Cellar & inventory organization

  • Importer & rep relationship management

  • Menu formatting & copy

  • Moving stagnant inventory

  • Floor presence & staff shadowing

  • Additionally: Restaurant opening support, FOH systems, workflow, training, and service standards

Wine Education

For teams looking to build confidence, literacy, and stronger wine sales.

A person is harvesting a bunch of green grapes from a vineyard using pruning shears. The vineyard has lush green leaves, and the ground is covered with rocks and dirt. A black bucket is visible, partially filled with grapes.

A staff that feels confident talking about wine creates better experiences for everyone.

I design every experience around the people in the room.

From casual palate discovery to deep dives into specific regions, grapes, or concepts - no two tastings are the same.

  • Themed tastings & curated flights

  • Region, varietal & concept-specific classes
