FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Sommelier services can vary depending on what experience you would like - a full class versus a wine pairing dinner for example - and also taking your wine budget into consideration. I am super reasonable and try to work with all budgets because I enjoy my work so much, I'm always looking for chances to do it!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically we would schedule a phone consultation and you would tell me all about your gathering and what you'd like from a sommelier. From there I would curate the tasting according to your interests (or food pairings) and put together some learning materials to enhance the lesson.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a certified sommelier by the Court of Master Sommeliers and I have worked in the wine industry since 2012 in New York City including restaurants, retail and importing. I have endless hours of experience presenting wine to a variety of skill levels ranging from complete novices to industry professionals, so I know how to gauge an audience.
