We've built literally hundreds of successful and unique lunch and dinner events featuring key wineries and allocated or rare wines. We have strong connections with notable winery principals and chefs across the US and beyond that can elevate any wine and food event production. Depending on need, we can successfully build the most intimate and exclusive event for private groups or two or three day city events for raising funds for charities, including conducting auctions to raise additional dollars.
What results can I expect?
- World class production food and wine events from the smallest private event to public events promoting a charity, municipality or city.
- Curated key items: allocated or hard to find wines, events with winery principals, designed event production with food and wine combined with local chefs or restaurants
- Exposure and access to the best wines, wineries and the principals that produce them to build a successful and memorable event

Introducing the Simplify Food and Wine Series
Uncomplicated, insightful and clear demonstration regarding the food and wines featured, all in a relaxed and fun environment. You'll learn about recipes that you can replicate at home and share with your friends and family. A focus on Florida grown local produced foods and insights on wines from from producers and regions we've been privileged to traveled and know.
Fact Based Wine and Food Education
Learn why we taste what we taste and how that adds up to a better customer experience. Adapting Tim Hanni's (CWE, MW) ground breaking work in food and wine reactions, we'll share how sweet, salty, bitter and umami flavors change your palate and how they react with the wines ( and other beverages) you taste. We'll use a live food and wine tasting to illustrate predictive outcomes to those food and wine combinations. You'll learn why most food pairings can be an illusion, how to identify super tasters and how to use prescriptive rather than descriptive selling. Learn the right questions to ask your customer to understand what they really want.
Food and Wine Menu Strategies
Learn how to leverage your buying and set pricing to sell. We can show you how to build a balanced, progressive wine list by varietal, region and flavor profile that will increase sales and make every sales person able to credibly discuss what is on the menu. We'll help you discover why authenticity and a good story works and why third party recommendations can increase your sales. Find if your menus show true individuality in a sea of 'me too' offerings. We can position your wine and food lists to sell the items you want to sell more quickly and at better profit while you still show your customer value.
