John was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly prompt from our very first interaction. I had never worked with a sommelier before, but wanted to add a special and unique touch to my friend’s 50th birthday—and John exceeded every expectation. He was truly dedicated to creating the exact experience I envisioned, offering thoughtful ways to elevate the event through wine, education, and engaging conversation. His passion and expertise made the evening feel both elevated and approachable, and our group had an unforgettable time. I would absolutely recommend John for anyone looking to create a memorable and meaningful wine experience.

About The Wine Guide
Hello friends! I am a wine-tasting host and wine educator certified as a level 2 professional by The Wine & Spirit Education Trust. I provide this unique service because it combines my two passions: wine and teaching. I am a dedicated school music teacher by day, and I enjoy spending much of my free time studying wine and traveling to wine regions. After a wine tasting journey through France with my wife, Anna, I started hosting private wine tastings for family and friends at the suggestion of my father-in-law. Unlike most wine professionals, my goal is not to sell you wine. I want to help you learn more about it. Therefore, my goal is to help you discover what you love and most importantly why you love it. I strive to create a non-judgmental and unpretentious atmosphere where people are free to ask any question they’ve ever had about wine and how to enjoy it to its fullest extent.
Reviews
John did a wine education/tasting party for us at our home. We absolutely loved every minute of it! John knew exactly how to read the crowd and his wine knowledge is incredible. He was verb thoughtful with his wine selection. We had around 30 guests and every one of them had a great time.
Wonderful experience and so much more education that we expected. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting a true learning treat.
