PartnerWinewise Llc Jul 2022 - PresentBerkeley, California, United StatesThe philosophy of Wine Wise is straightforward: we seek wines of character from people we like and places which are not always well-known or popular. We are not averse to the classics, but we are not scared of the obscure. Our wines do not have to meet any ideological litmus test, but we do have to like them. If they are grown organically it does not hurt, but we don’t insist on it. While we have a number of sought-after and expensive wines in our portfolio, our animating force is the acquisition of great wines that almost anyone can afford to drink – a rather more exacting discipline than the converse. Above all, we like people. Our growers tend to be interesting and often amusing people, sometimes with a spiritual bent, sometimes unrepentantly earthy. We have watched with pleasure as the sons and daughters we knew as babies and children have grown up to be the proprietors of their parents’ estates. We like to think of ourselves as the link between these friends and the people drinking their wines in restaurants or at home. We have developed from an one-man band into a full team with a dozen or so sales representatives spanning virtually the entire state of California and a small phalanx of impossibly clever people handling the many functions that lie beyond the principals’ capabilities. We are very lucky people!

Co-FounderWine Unify Foundation Jun 2020 - PresentUnited StatesCo-Founded Wine Unify along with DLynn Proctor and Mary Margaret McCamic, MW on the belief that education is the cornerstone to progress in any field. Yet many ethnic and racial minorities experience significant barriers to entry - be it financial, mentorship, or a general feeling of exclusion. We seek to change that by fostering wine education for underrepresented minority groups, and amplifying the voices of the people of color who are already thriving within the wine industry. We do this by way of outreach, awards, and education, mentorship, as well as various other elements within our initiatives. -

Senior Buyer, Direct ImportsGlobal Wine Company Apr 2011 - Aug 2016San Francisco Bay AreaGlobal Wine Company (GWC) managed the Monthly-Wine-Club selections for several media brands including The New York Times, Williams-Sonoma, The Washington Post, and Michael Mina Restaurant Group. I was responsible for leading the selection process, sourcing, and final quality of all wines in these programs.I managed a 5-person team sampling approximately 8000 wines per year, gleaned from several trips across the world each year. Less than 5% made their way into one of our programs. GWC was dedicated to creating compelling shipments of memorable wines to Club Members each month.Even now, well after the business sold in August 2016, former colleagues gather from time to time and reflect that, while the business ultimately did not succeed, we believed the Global Wine Co. experiment was something noble and stood as a meaningful effort to be proud of in the DTC sector. This remains a definitive role for me as a buyer during my lifetime.
