MY
Services
Private Clients
Working as a sommelier I am lucky to come in contact with guests who share my passion for exploration. I enjoy showing them new and established products that are unique and delicious whilst fitting in with their preferences. My private cellar consultancy is ideal if you are looking for a particular product you enjoyed when at a restaurant, assistance to curate your cellar, wanting to learn more about wine or just need a sommelier for your next dinner party please get in touch.
courses
I design and present custom curated wine courses. The focus of these courses is to empower you with enough knowledge on particular regions, grapes or wine styles so you can ask the right questions when next making a wine purchase. The length and cost of each course is able to be fine tuned to meet your requirements.
Examples include a five session European classics tour, two session Burgundy exploration or a single session Sparkling wine styles of the world event.
Hospitality
Quite simply one of the most competitive fields of endeavour in Australia. What parts of your beverage operations are missing the mark? Which systems and behaviours can you put in place to ensure a healthier bottom line and business culture? I offer a wide array of consultant sommelier services ranging from one-off sessions to complete management solutions including an in-depth understanding of WSET and CMS learning standards to assist with getting more out of your team. The outcomes I strive for include increased profitability, more satisfied guests and longer staff retention.
wine list construction
Selection and implementation of a range of high quality products that are on trend, ethical, relevant and delicious. Tasting notes, order sheets and staff wine training sessions are included. My wine list services can be integrated to work alongside other restaurant consultancy businesses.
Building a positive beverage culture
Having quality products is only one part of the equation. Engaged, knowledgeable staff that understand how to build a positive guest experience requires work and nurturing. This is the real key to effective and profitable F&B operations.
