Your own personal wine buyer. I buy wine — it’s what I do and what I do best!

My passion for wine started in college when I worked at a vineyard and continues to present day with more than 18 years of experience. I stay on top of all of the industry press, have my pulse on the best wines, sources and prices.

I am currently providing the weekly wine pairing for the recipes edited by Kristina on Design*Sponge. The In-the-Kitchen-With column appears every Friday at noon, and features the recipes of design*sponge readers’ favorite designers. My wine pairings also appear on Three Layer Cake in the recipes section.

I can work with almost any budget whether you are looking to spend $100, $1,000 or $10,000…whether you want to start or grow your collection, put together a case (of the best of the Bordeaux, the last vintage from Spain, a collection of Cabernets, etc), or need help with a special event. I can work with you in any of the following ways:

- Wine Collection Consultation
- Develop Wine Lists
- Wedding Wine Consultation
- Wine Dinners
- Wine Tastings (private or corporate)

To hire me as a wine collection consultant, the best arrangement is to designate a quarterly budget and allow me to buy as wines as they are released, become available or when I am able to secure special offers. There are many different ways that I can work with you to make your wine life easier and a lot more rewarding.

Even if you just have a question, want a recommendation for a wine/food pairing, a wine for a special occasion — send me an email. My advice is free.
