I’d be happy to help you with a talk or a tasting at your next corporate event or private party. I’ve helped summer associates at law firms learn how to navigate a wine list without fear, young alumni find excellent wine bargains, and other groups see how their preferences stack up against the critics. I’ve helped professional athletes become better tasters and collectors hone their collecting strategies.

Some of the groups that I’ve helped with events include: The Blackstone Group; Sullivan and Cromwell; McDermott, Will & Emory; O’Melveny & Myers; Morgan Stanley; The Nature Conservancy; NYU Alumni Weekend 2008; NYU Young Alumni Donors; the American Friends of the London School of Economics; Columbia University Latin American Studies; Sarah Lawrence College; The Casino Club of Chicago; and many more. Drop me a line to set up a talk or to coordinate a tasting.
