A Beverage Program Built to Perform
A wine list should do more than look good on paper — it should move product, support your margins, and reflect the concept your guests came for. As a Los Angeles wine consultant with more than 25 years of on- and off-premise experience, I build beverage programs that do all three.
I've managed retail, sold for distributors, and developed lists from the ground up, so every recommendation I make is grounded in what actually sells, not just what tastes good in a boardroom tasting.
Consulting for Restaurants, Hotels & Retailers
Whether you're opening a new concept, refreshing a tired list, or building out a hotel's entire beverage program, engagements are scoped to fit — from a single list overhaul to an ongoing advisory relationship.
Services include wine and cocktail list development, cellar and inventory management, competitive pricing strategy, key account and vendor negotiation, restaurant and hotel beverage program development, and complete regional schematics tailored to your concept.
A Consultant Who's Sold It Too
A list is only as good as the team pouring it. Consulting work is always paired with staff training and education, and can extend to full events and tasting programming to launch it right.
