Grafted is going to be 5 years old in July 🥳 and we have a treat for you! Our wine tasting event on Tuesday, July 7 at 6.30pm is going to be led by my amazing friend, Master Sommelier and one of the world’s best somms, Mark Guillaudeu. Mark will present you with seven wines chosen by him based on his taste and interests. The wines will be accompanied by homemade small plates. The tickets are $140 per person and $40 of that amount will go to your wine purchase after the event. Please, email me if you’re interested at [email protected] . And here is Mark’s short bio:
Mark Guillaudeu began his career in hospitality after graduate school studying Tibetan Buddhism and quickly made his way from Washington, DC to San Francisco and the two Michelin-starred Commis. He earned his WSET Diploma in 2016 and in 2019 was named one of Food & Wine Magazine’s ‘Best New Sommeliers’ as he entered the MW program and set his sights on the Meilleur Sommelier du Monde title. He won the right to represent the USA in international competition in the “Best Sommelier USA” event in June of 2022 and in February of 2023 became the first American to breach the semi-finals of the grueling World Championship. That September he earned his Master Sommelier Diploma and competed to re-earn his “Best Sommelier USA” title in August of 2024, becoming the first American candidate to win the title more than once and in February of 2025 the first American to make the finals at the Best Sommelier of the Americas competition, placing second. Mark joined the team at three Michelin-starred, 2017 Best Restaurant in the World Eleven Madison Park in May of 2024 and delights in sharing his joy, love, and knowledge of wine with his guests and his team. Mark has a passion for the wines of Austria and Spain; sake, and other savory ferments the world over.
Cheers and hope to see you there.
