What People Are Saying
“Tara brings you through a tasting like therapy. She listens to what you have to say, validates what you are tasting, and then tells you why you are tasting that particular flavor. It is always the most interesting unpretentious tasting I have ever experienced. I’ve learned so much about wine and the different varietals, terroirs, and climates and how they come together to create what is in my glass.”
— Laurie B
“Our virtual wine tasting with Tara and Andrew was a great way to learn about wines in general and Participating during Covid lockdown was also a good way to stay connected! We love their informative and fun style. To us wine newbies that meant a lot!”
— Gary T & Ruth V
“tara taught me everything I know about wine. I would say the 5 S’s of wine tasting and also food pairing are two big ones that stand out for me. I remember pairing a mushroom Brie with a Pinot noir and it being such an incredible experience. It tasted how seeing a new color for the first time would feel - just WOAH. She really opened up my eyes to have a more elevated dining experience from simply just picking a wine to compliment your meal.”
— Ally D
“Tara and Andrew make wine approachable for everyone, whether you're a novice or connoisseur. Not only is their wine absolutely fantastic (seriously, seriously fantastic), but they are true teachers of their craft. They bring a casual vibe, genuineness, and even a sense of humor to winemaking. I recommend them to every person and every palate and highly encourage a tasting or ten.”

True life experences
I have spent the last 14 years of my life dedicated to a beverage. At the end of the day that is what it is. Wines also tradition, science, art, farming, history, and lifestyle.
A lot of my education has been hands-on and I still take that approach with teaching and letting you experience the wine while you learn.
With formal education from Sonoma State in wine business management, level 2 WSET (working on Level 3) winey owner, and Winery GM. I am able to help many avenues of the wine industry
