A graduate of the Lynn University Hotel Management program in Boca Raton, Fl. I have held various managerial positions in food and beverage in both hotels and restaurants front and back of the house. Working late nights in Hospitality for some time, I started to feel the infamous "burn out" syndrome. Sitting down one day, analyzing my life's path, living in Sunny South Florida and having grown up
in the Caribbean I realized that the sea was subliminally calling me. Soon after attaining my captains license my PADI Divemaster Certification and a lot of hard work, I got a job on a mega yacht. Travelling the world while working, fishing, diving etc. and fulfilling my passion. My days off in Italy, the South of France, Croatia etc.. would be spent at small vineyards, w**e tastings and w**e tours. Suddenly I began to realize that even though having worked with w**e before, a new spark for w**e had arisen in me. Since, I have read tons about w**e and food pairings, taken various courses, my Court of Master Sommeliers Certificate, and now on to the WSET courses and Italian W**e Specialist Course. I feel w**e knowlege is a constant journey! Cantinetta Vintners was started because of my passion for w**es, travel,cooking, and discovering new ways to pair w**e and food. I feel w**e has a story behind it mainly passed from generation to generation. The terroir, the vintners, the good vintages and the bad ones, the generations, the labor, the love... Cantinetta Vintners is a 100% snob-free zone! With my down-to-earth style of teaching and explaining w**e, I am now offering:
-in-home w**e tastings
-personal w**e shopper
-corporate events
-restaurant w**e list design and planning
-restaurant staff training
