CO-FOUNDER, INSTRUCTOR

I have been a wine lover for over 26 years.  Along the way, I earned my diploma certification from WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) and am currently a student in the Vinitaly Wine Ambassadorship program. I have also served as an educator for 28 years, as both a teacher and administrator in the NYC Public School system.  In my earlier years, I played semi-professional baseball as a catcher and had a fleeting rendezvous with the West Palm Beach Expos in Class A.  I was born, raised and currently reside in New York City.
