At I Dream O’ Vino, I’m here to educate and enhance your wine knowledge and portfolio while at the same time, make your life easier.
Knowledge: The world of wine can be intimidating to say the least. I’m here to help. Leveraging my deep experience and knowledge in wine, I will ensure that you are making informed purchases and learning more with each engagement.
Convenience: Finding what you’re looking for can be a major hassle. With hundreds of wine websites, articles, brick and mortar shops and online retailers out there, getting what you want isn’t always as easy as popping into the shop down the street. When you partner with me, I take care of curating and sourcing the wines, as well as working with producers, importers, distributors and retailers to manage all the logistics to make your life easier.
Time Savings: No more wandering around the wine shop looking for a cool label that grabs your attention but ultimately disappoints with what’s in the bottle. When we work together I spend time getting to know you and your preferences which helps me give you the right advice which ultimately saves you time (and potential disappointment)!
CELLAR CURATION
We work together to identify a holistic vision for your curated wine cellar—whether you’re just looking for a case of wine to top off your collection or you are building a 1,000 bottle cellar that needs to be filled. I will then do all the hard work: selecting and sourcing the wines, organizing logistics for delivery, and providing you with a digital presentation of each wine broken out by region.
These engagements are billed on an hourly rate exclusive of the price of the wine and any shipping costs. My rate is $100/hour and we will agree on a project estimate prior to starting, so there are no surprises.

WINE TASTINGS AND DINNERS
My passion is to share wine discovery experiences with other curious people. Tastings are a great way to learn while having fun with a group of friends or work colleagues. I offer private, in-person or virtual themed tastings for groups of 2-50 people, all featuring premium wines that I have independently selected to ensure a high quality experience.
