Your Personal Certified Sommelier
At RCS Wines, the greatest joy lies in introducing others to the delightful nuances of wine. The chance to stick your nose in a glass and experience the place, the soil, the climate and the passion of the winemaker, and even better to taste it!
We offer services targeted toward a gathering of friends and family in your home, company team-building, or elevating your restaurant’s wine program.
I look forward to the opportunity to gather together and bring the love of wine to your table.
