Elizabeth Schweitzer is the eighth woman in the world to achieve the Master Sommelier title and the only Master Sommelier in Los Angeles County. She was voted Best Sommelier in California by the California Restaurant Writers Association. When asked how she knows so much about wine she simply states, “I open a lot of books and a lot of bottles.” Her approach to wine is a mix of old-fashioned common sense and modern economics; “If you like the wine, then it is good wine. You should not have to pay a lot to enjoy a good glass of wine.” The message she emphasizes is that wine not be taken too seriously but be included as an integral part of everyday life. Elizabeth brings unpretentious and contagious enthusiasm, passion, humor, and a vast array of knowledge to the hospitality & wine industry.

“To love passionately, to travel, to eat & drink with enthusiasm, to laugh a lot, to live with zeal, pursuing noble aims; that is my wish for all of you.”

-Elizabeth Schweitzer, M.S.
