Prior to settling in to his role here, he worked for 35 years in sales (21 years in the wine industry and 14 years for a distributor on the wholesale side). Through his experience as well as through a half year apprenticeship course with the Professional Beverage Institute of America, Dave has become an expert in all things wine. He is excited to share his knowledge!
