Phillip has a deep knowledge and understanding of foodservice and the restaurant business. My experiences with him revealed him to be a consumate professional and a strong communicator and project manager. He knows how to identify operational needs to maximize both profitability and guest satisfaction; a rare combination. He has always been a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to work with him again.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Wine tasting fees depend on the how many hours and how many wines, as well as how many people in the event. Group discounts and returning customers I offer discounts.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
New customer will send an email with all required information, ie, date, time, how many people, how many wines to tastes, food pairing options, type of event either social/private or corporate and if they have budget.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have opened and trained over 29 restaurants openings with wine training. I have written many wine lists for restaurants and have done many private tastings.
