Rand’s passion for wine began from the ground up—literally. With a degree in Soil Science and Geology, he developed a deep appreciation for how terroir influences the character of a great wine. His curiosity about the connection between soil, grapes, and winemaking quickly grew into an obsession, leading him to pursue formal training as a sommelier.

With years of experience working in private clubhouses, Rand has refined his expertise in wine selection, pairings, and curation, always striving to elevate the drinking experience. In 2023, he completed his Level 3 Sommelier certification, further deepening his knowledge and ability to craft exceptional pairings.

Whether guiding an educational tasting, curating a wine list, or offering expert pairings for a multi-course meal, Rand brings a thoughtful and nuanced approach to every pour. His mission is simple: to help people discover and appreciate wine in a way that’s both approachable and unforgettable.
