“Serving is one of the greatest virtues and being served is one of the greatest pleasures”
how I can serve you well?
REDUCE STRESS
I will take all the stress off you completely and make you relax. While I take over and execute your wine and food event and guide you through the whole process. You can rely on me and TRUST ME whether is a small private wine tasting at the park or a high-profile corporate event in a super exclusive venue.
KEEP THE SURPRISE ELEMENT ALIVE
Building suspense, and keeping the surprise element alive without giving away your story too early in the delivery. I will keep it simple and private. I take the surprise element very seriously because know it’s important to you and your guests.
NURTURE YOUR BODY AND SOUL
Everything I do while serving you will nurture and please your visuals, taste buds, body and soul and of course will satisfy the most demanding palates and expectations.
FEEL A SENSE OF PLACE and BELONGING
It will give you total peace of mind when you see everyone having a great time and enjoying the affair to the fullest. You will feel a sense of place or belonging, when finding that every single detail has been considered in the food, wine and service execution.
SERVING IS ONE OF THE GREATEST VIRTUES
I serve others from my heart at a level where only virtuosity and humility can be found in the simple yet so profound act of service at the table. What is service for me? Service is everything you would expect “AS” a customer yourself. Superb service can often salvage a mediocre dinning experience, but rarely can a superb meal be rescued by mediocre service.
BEING SERVED – THE GREATEST PLEASURE
We all appreciate and at times demand, EXCELLENT SERVICE, of course love experience SUPERB FOOD, and intensely enjoy GREAT SENSE OF PLACE. Here I anticipate you will find all those three together.
EXCELLENCE IN EXCESS IS NOT EXCESSIVE!

Abel Charlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier (Champagne, FR)
Classic sparkling coming from “Vallee De La Marne” in the center of Champagne. Abel Charlot is a well-known Champagne grower who buys the best fruit from selected vineyards to make this unique bubbly.
Tasting Notes: Pale-straw color with fine bubbles, on the nose you find seductive minerality that reflects on the palate with elegant dry acidity notes of lime and lemon, and a lovely creamy texture.
Elio Perrone, `Moscato D’asti”, Muscat (Asti- Piedmont, IT)
Moscato d'Asti is a lightly elegant sweet sparkling wine made in and around the town of Asti, in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy.
Tasting Notes: Every time I serve this wine to my guests at Lowood they love the refreshing yet slightly fruity nature of this fussy wine. It’s a fantastic option to drink it on its own. Chablis-like in its energy, the Sourgal exudes precision and classiness throughout. White peach, orchard fruit, and flowers abound in this vivid, beautifully delineated Moscato from Stefano Perrone. Once you taste this wine your palate will decide for you.
Cleto Chiarli, ‘Lambrusco’ Lambrusco, (Emilia Romagna, IT)
So you haven’t tasted this Lambrusco? omg, you are about to embark on a truly wine experience…think of intense red and flavorful sparkling wine.
Tasting Notes: A complex structure with elegant tannins and all grape fragrances can be felt. Lots of red flowers like rose petals and dark fruit combined with orange peel. Fine bubbles and a refreshing finish.
Sigalas, ‘Santorini’ Assyrtiko (Santorini, GR)
Assyrtiko is an indigenous grape to the island of Santorini. Assyrtiko is to Greece what Albariño is to Spain, Grüner Veltliner is to Austria, or Chablis to France. Talk about beautiful sandy beaches, volcanic soils, and lovely oceanic breezes. That's exactly what you get inside the glass. Basket-trained wines...ask and I will explain!
Tasting Notes: Bright lemon color, its nose brings a balanced acidity being the backbone of the wine. Mineral taste is a result of Santorini’s unique terroir, flavors of citrus fruits, and white fruit. Refreshing and long-lasting aftertaste.
Clos Canarelli, ‘Rosé’ Sciaccarellu (Corsica, FR)
Mediterranean in style. The oldest variety that is produced on the island. Tenacious granite-rooted vines lend a sort of wisdom and finesse to the finished cuvée.
Tasting Notes: A vibrant nose with floral notes, stony, savory, and reminiscent of warm apricots and aromatic and refreshing expression on the palate.
La Miraja, Grignolino (Grignolino, IT)
Think of a complex rose for summer! Perfect to begin any meal, light juicy, food-friendly plus with complex tannins. Top site of Castagnole Monferrato. This wine style was way before even Barolo was on the map. It was drunk by the royals and still is.
Tasting Notes: On the nose: cherry, raspberry, rose hip, geranium, and mushroom abound. Drink these wines through the winter. Typically chilled before serving, this wine makes for a great “winter rosé.”
$215.95 (6 BTLS Allocated wines)
Jean Foillard ‘Village’ Gamay (Beaujolais, FR)
Foillard is one of the best representatives for low intervention. This wine is one of the lightest and most fun wines you could ever drink and it's one of the best wines coming out of Beaujolais. Highly allocated.
Tasting Notes: Simple yet complex and that's what makes this wine so special. Lightly fleshy expression with red fruit like strawberries, cherries, and dry cranberries with some wonderful texture going down.
Oddero, ‘Barbera D’Alba, Barbera (Piedmont, IT)
A variety that was neglected in the past but now world-class Italian grand cru producers use it to bring the highest land expression of La Morra in Barolo to your glass.
Tasting Notes: Concentrated red and black fruit extraction on the nose. Intense and ample with notes of raspberry, red berries, citrus fruits, and a hint of roses. The flavor is fresh and full-bodied with a soft, clean aftertaste and a slightly tannic finish.
Brand & Family Mourvedre 2019, Mourvedre (Central Coast, CA)
True farmers at heart that aren't in "the wine country" and have no trophy wineries, and yet they bring complex, savory and delicious wines on different levels and this one is just one of them. The truth is in the juice. Test and treat yourself with this one!
Tasting Notes: Have a savory meal, seared or roasted meal? This wine tantalizes your palate. Dark brambly fruits and rose petals open in your nose. Black pepper and lush fruits balance subtle savory notes. Zesty tannins and light acidity on the finish.
Remelluri Rioja Reserva, Tempranillo (Rioja, SP)
Known as the first wine farm in Rioja. Wine-Maker Telmo Rodríguez says he wants to bring the real expression of Rioja that goes back way before the French and others made their mark. Telmo's vision of the future of the estate is centered around a focus on place. The highest elevation in the region.
Tasting Notes: Aromas of dried flowers, dry cranberries and tobacco continue to the palate that is medium-to-full-bodied with firm, silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Classic style.
Lionel Faury, 90% Syrah and 10% viognier (Cote Rotie, FR)
One of the greatest wines in France. Most artisanal, hand harvested in a very steep vineyard that faces south in Côte Brune (Positioning of vineyards brings higher levels of quality to your glass).
Tasting Notes: Classic black and red fruit nose with violets, tapenade, and black pepper. The impressively long floral-driven finish features well-knit tannins and lingering spice with rustic elegance. This is the wine style that gets me going into wine ...get it today!
Chateau Rocher Corbin, Merlot, Cab (Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, FR)
10.5 hectares are in one block, perfectly situated on the western slope of Mount Calon, the highest point in the area. This vineyard site provides maximum exposure to the sun and perfect natural irrigation with sandy soil mixed with clay. The vines average 45 years old and more than 15% of the vines are over 80 years old, and a very special patch of pre-phylloxera Merlot is 150 years old! Wines are aged for 12 to 14 months in oak, with an average of 50% new oak.
Tasting Notes: The wines are characterized by bright fruit, fine tannins, and floral aromatics that give this wine elegance
