Experience
Wine Director, Sommelier Floor Manager
Jul 2025 — Present · Houston, TX, US
As Wine Director, I curate and lead a program that reflects both excellence and identity, combining iconic wines with emerging discoveries. I collaborate with chefs to create memorable pairings, mentor teams to deliver world-class service, and build meaningful connections with guests through wine culture. My passion lies in crafting experiences that inspire, educate, and elevate every table- As a sommelier, provide study tools to the team so they have a clear understanding of wines by the glass. Advise guests on wine selection, taking into account their experience, tastes, and other factors to make an appropriate selection for each occasion. Monitor inventory to order wines appropriately, avoiding having 86 on the list. Develop a comprehensive coding process to maintain a more organized wine list- As a Manager, I train the team to fine-tune the service and thus achieve a high standard in both table service and wine service, analyze the ledger to also organize the floor plan ensuring smooth, delay-free service, opening and closing activities by entering sales data and FOH working hours into the system, and resolve various day-to-day aspects.
