A Moment in Wine: Sinor-LaVallee Pinot Noir San Luis Obispo (CA) 2016

FOUNDER’S STATEMENT

My passion for wine had its roots in my art school years when I worked in the vineyards of New York’s Hudson Valley. Years later, after a three year tenure working as a taster for a national magazine, I was asked to recommend someone who could design and build a 28,000 bottle wine cellar for Lespinasse Restaurant at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City. Drawing from my experience in design, construction and fine wood working, I undertook the project myself. That led to the successful installation of many residential wine cellar designs as well.
