Wine can be formal or informal; fussy or relaxed; complex or simple but most of all, it should be approachable.

What People Are Saying
"We booked a tasting with Linda to celebrate our friends' wedding, and it could not have been a more perfect experience. Linda was warm, knowledgeable, and her recommendations were on point - she even introduced our friends from South Africa to new wines from their country! We also appreciated how safe it felt to do an outdoor tasting with her during COVID, as she was very respectful of our safety preferences.
Book with Linda - you won't be disappointed!"

“We benefit from Linda’s patience and enthusiastic approach to wine education as fellows in the liquor industry. Our private spirits club events sell out within hours when Linda is our guest instructor.”

“I have known Linda as a friend for years - both as a sommelier at exclusive dinners at my restaurant and as a valuable resource in pairing wines for numerous private functions. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of wines is remarkable and presented in a fun and professional manner. The one comment I get from all of my guests is how lucky we are to have Linda in our valley. Very true!”
