D'Lynn Proctor, CS

When education or tasting with a sommelier is needed, you should trust one certified by the Court of Master Sommeliers. Besides the sessions being extremely entertaining, areas covered are varieties, history of grapes, history of wineries, fun facts about regions, proper presentations, pairings, and a level of candor and confidence needed to tackle wine in general. No need for intimidation when you can have a passionate and humble coordinator of all things wine. A presto!

Don Myers Wine Specialist/Educator

Wine'tastic! I love taking the snobbery out of wine. If you are ready to enjoy the greatest beverage in the world and learn a little, or a lot about it with like minded, fun people, we are your place and I am your person. I take over a decade of highly focused industry experience and condense that into a fun, elegant, personal and still educative experience. We are always learning and growing in the wine industry, and I love to share in the passion of that experience. I will help you learn more about the most important thing to learn in wine, and that is... what you like! I may even help you learn to like more! I use an aromatic components kit also to help us awaken our "sense of scents", and you will be able to identify wine in a way you never dreamed possible. There's only one way to find out...Give me a call and book a class today!!! "The wines that one best remembers are not necessarily the finest that one has ever tasted, and the highest quality may fail to delight so much as some far more humble beverage drunk in more favorable surroundings." -H. Warner Allen (From the wine list of Commander's Palace in New Orleans, LA courtesy of John McDonald, Dallas, TX)
