"My main goal with the guest is to help them pick a wine that will complement the occasion and their tastes." says Todd. "The occasion includes everything from the atmosphere, to something they may be celebrating, to the food they have ordered. I get just as excited by matching them with a $40 bottle of wine as a $1300 bottle of wine. In the end if the guest enjoys their entire experience that is what matters most."
