All this personalized service and fast responses is making me giddy! Can't you treat me like a number....you know like most businesses do? -Steve Hughes
I have studied wine theory and tasting technique with the International Sommelier Guild, the International Wine Guild, the Court of Master Sommeliers, and the Wine Academy of Spain.
