Wine Tasting Event @ Artisan Wine Depot

Featured Winery: Domaine Chandon

Meet Tom Tiburzi, Chandon's Sparkling Wine Winemaker!

About Tom Tiburzi:

San Diego native Tom Tiburzi has been on the winemaking team since 1989, but his passion for food and wine began long before that. It was in his blood. The son of an Italian immigrant who achieved the American dream by opening and cooking in a hotel and restaurant and building a retail wine and spirits business, Tom worked in his family's stores from early childhood. As a youth he made wine in the garage with his family and learned the benefits of fresh seasonal ingredients through his mother, who regularly sent him out to pluck herbs and vegetables from the backyard garden. After receiving a degree in Environmental Studies in Biology from the University of California at Berkeley, he fell in love with his now-wife Sherri. When she accepted a pastry chef position at Domaine Chandon she inadvertently led Tom to his dream job. Today along with overseeing our sparkling wine production he regularly consults with our restaurant chefs on how to heighten and expand guests' wine and food experiences at Chandon and at home.
