FROM THE SOMMELIER for over thirty years i have worked as a sommelier and my professional career has taken me through various regions in France, and major wine countries in Europe like Italy, Spain, and Greece. I am a member of the American Sommelier Association, Philadelphia Chapter 2000- 2002 and Member of the Union de la Sommellerie Francaise from 1990-1994 in Paris. I lived in some of the most amazing cities, like Paris and London, where I worked in prestigious Michelin Star restaurants and was introduced to Mr. Olivier Poussier who would later become the world’s best Sommelier 2000 in Montreal, Canada. He influenced my career to become an international Sommelier. I have been in the United States for over 20 years, working with nationally and world renowned chefs like Jean-Louis Palladin (Watergate Hotel Washington DC, Chef Robert Wiedmaier (Marcel’s Restaurant Washington DC), Chef Georges Perrier (Le Bec fin and Table 31 in Philadelphia), and Chef Martin Hamann (Four Seasons Hotel, Fountain in Philadelphia). In addition, I had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Robert Parker Jr. from the Wine Advocate Magazine for private tasting and discussion on several occasions. The world of wine changes each and every day and, for the last thirty years, while deepening my love for the wines of Europe and North-America, I have also passionately embraced the study of wines from all around the world including areas like Argentina, Chile, New- Zealand, Australia, and South-Africa. I love sharing my passion and my enthusiasm for wine. I am driven by the search for the right food and wine pairings and delight in working on food themes, bringing wine to life, focusing on the varietals, the appellations, the wine making methods, and above all, I enjoy the people who craft the wine. Warmth and friendship, clarity and simplicity, are all inherently part of my daily routine. I have been fortunate in pursuing a career in a fascinating field which offers daily opportunities to pursue the two goals I set for myself: continually strive to be a high-level professional and spread the love for wine and gastronomy.
