Jordan B. says, "I've had the privilege of learning about wine from Michael and tasting his mixed drink & culinary creations on a number of occasions. I have attended educational classes he's provided about wine; attended dinners where he has created the menu and acted as the chef, and once, my work team attended an offsite where we learned from Michael about how to create our own cocktails. He also helped us with a cocktail recipe for an onsite drink making competition - and we won!
Michael is passionate about wine, beer, and mixed drinks and has a special talent for explaining them in a way that is accessible and approachable. While his taste is dialed in, he isn't stuck-up about wine in the way that many people are. One of my favorite quotes from him is, "good wine is wine that you like." He has a way of helping people get to know their own taste (and thus themselves) better, has an incredible memory for what people like, and is exceptional at leveraging his creative sensory approach to create memorable food/beverage pairings.
Hire him. You are in for a genuine, warm, and elevated experience!"See more
