bringing wine to people,
not people to wine.

Meet Gary

Certified Sommelier. Classically trained chef. Storyteller of American wine, food, and the people who shaped it.

After more than 40 years in hospitality, wine service, and restaurants, Gary came to see wine differently — not as a test to pass or a club to join, but as something deeply personal. Behind every bottle are stories of people, places, struggle, reinvention, and joy. Through history, storytelling, and honest conversation, Gary helps people feel more comfortable exploring wine in their own way — without ego or intimidation. Because wine is either yummy or it’s not — and you’re always right.
