Wine Tasting Experiences
In the last 15 years, the number of bodegas on the island of Mallorca has reached nearly 100! Multiply that by the number of wine labels available & that’s a lot of choices to sift through. Here, you’ll taste the most interesting, relevant & diverse wines the island has to offer.
Many argue (myself included), that natural wine is the epitome of vinous truth. Clarity & precision are much more difficult to reach when make-up & winemaking tricks are not employed in the cellar (nor vineyard). Here, you’ll taste some defining &/or up-&-coming wines that are difficult to encounter as a collection elsewhere.
The world of Spanish wines is practically infinite & spans so much more territory than just Rioja, Ribera del Duero & Verdejo. Unlock the magic that is Murcia, Jerez, Arribes, Ribeira Sacra & SO MUCH MORE!
I’ve been judging & working in beer for over 20 years. Suds are good. The stories, history & flavors at the heart of their genesis make them incredible. Featured styles to be chosen upon request & availability.
If you’re an aspiring sommelier or looking to elevate your skills, this is an excellent tasting option. The sky’s the limit to what this tasting can look like.
International Professional Services
Wine lists that gain attention & are long lasting need to be strategic, functional & dynamic. Let’s take a look at what your list offers & how changes can improve your financials as well as guest appreciation & staff engagement.
Dozens of restaurants, hotels & bars have entrusted me with the creation of their vibrant & relevant wine lists that center around their establishment motif whilst making financial sense. Many of these lists have been celebrated via awards & published in international media.
It’s very functional & amazing to know when to drink what, how to organize consumption & what wines can be sold at auction, etc. It’s even better when someone does this for you. I’ve designed & maintained cellars for decades. Happy to help organize (& maintain, if needed) your cellar for happier drinking (& less wine that’s “Past prime.”
Staff training is just as important to the financial success & vibe of an establishment. Without staff engagement, wines move slower & there’s less of an interaction between guests & staff. It is proven that storytelling sells & strategic sharing of wines can lead to a better guest experience = repeat clientele & less staff turnover.
The warm weather associated with yacht consumption can have a lot of people drinking a lot of wine. These wines can be easy quaffers for an easy sail or ones to be paired with lunch, dinner & everything in between. If you need selections for your private, naval cellar stocked, look no further!
