“My goal is to show people that wine is packed with art, science, culture, and history. With just a little effort, all of that can be fully appreciated by slowing down to actually smell and taste the wine. More importantly, pairing your wine with the right food drastically increases the likelihood of enjoyment.”
“Randi’s knowledge and presentation is second to none. I highly recommend her services for a unique event that will take anyone’s appreciation for fine wine to the next level.”
