People take sick satisfaction in asking me, “How much wine do you drink every day?” There is a gleam in their eyes when they ask, as if they’re waiting for me to tell them some huge, undrinkable-by-mere-mortals number. When I tell them the truth—one or two glasses a day—they’re often disappointed.

I'm a personal wine merchant in Dallas (think personal shopper for wine). I represent 24 small-production brands out of California that you can't buy at the liquor store.

If you live in Dallas, this is done through a personal wine tasting event. For $45, I'll conduct a fun and informative wine tasting for you & your friends or clients. Click here to learn more about my wine tasting events.

Once I get to know your taste in wine, I'll contact you when a new and interesting wine is released. No more staring into space at the grocery store, wondering which wine to buy. No more money wasted on bottles of wine you don't like. Plus, if you have questions about menu planning or how much wine you need for your event, I'm here to help.

If you don't live in Dallas, I may have a Wine-Maven-in-Training in your area. Or there's always my wine club.
