Danielle Schmitz, Sommelier, Wine Educator

At my birthday celebration, Danielle conducted an exceptional wine tasting event. Her expertise, amiability, sociability, and cooperative nature were impressive attributes. It was delightful to witness her awareness of the wine flavors, exactly what I had anticipated for. I would unquestionably enlist her services again and surely endorse her to acquaintances and relatives. If a Sommelier is what you need, Danielle is undoubtedly the one.

I yearn for more occasions to plan or weddings to organize just so I can repeatedly employ Danielle's exceptional services. My closest companion's wedding encountered a multitude of predicaments due to the pandemic, resulting in cancellations from venues, services, and even guests. However, with Danielle's assistance, the wedding became an intimate backyard celebration that exuded elegance and sophistication, and was just as enjoyable as the most grandiose ceremonies. Her knowledge of liquor and wine is extensive, yet it never comes off as pompous. Even with a growing line at the bar, every glass was filled promptly and no one was left wanting. Danielle arrived early, looking poised, polished, and presentable, and quickly set up her organized and welcoming bar. She crafted cocktails with care, even creating one specifically for the happy couple. Despite her professionalism, she managed to form a close connection with the guests. Clean up was swift and thorough, with minimal waste and no loose ends left behind. From the initial inquiry to the post-event follow-up, Danielle communicated promptly and effectively. I believe we only scratched the surface of Danielle's abilities and can only imagine the feats she could accomplish in a wine-centered scenario or under ordinary circumstances. Book her ahead of time before my own events fill up her schedule.

Danielle is truly remarkable! She assisted me with all aspects of party planning, from start to finish, and she was a flawless mixologist throughout the entire evening. We maintained regular communication during the planning process and, based on her expert recommendations, we developed three signature drinks that catered to our guests' preferences. Danielle also happily mixed any other cocktails that were requested, ensuring everyone left satisfied. Furthermore, Danielle's wine recommendations, as well as the quantity to purchase for the party size, were incredibly valuable. She truly went above and beyond to provide outstanding service. Her cocktails were beautifully made with the freshest ingredients, and she was punctual, highly professional, and incredibly friendly. Danielle is truly exceptional, and her impeccable services are worth so much more than what she charges! Thank you, Danielle, for being such an incredible asset to our party. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to work with you again in the future!

At our chef-inspired six-course dinner, Danielle delivered an exceptional pairing experience. I was truly impressed not only by her flawless selections and profound understanding of every wine, vineyard history, and the rationale behind each pairing, but also by how she made the whole experience effortless for everyone in our group, despite our varying levels of wine expertise. Her highly professional approach elevated the experience into luxury, and her serene and cheerful personality made her feel like an endearing friend by the end of the night. I highly recommend Danielle for any kind of experience you might be looking for - it's a most delectable education, indeed!

Approximately 20 individuals participated in a virtual wine class hosted by Danielle, who was hired by my company. Each participant received a tasting package prepared by her, which included small food pairings. Furthermore, she personally delivered the packages along with an informative PDF containing maps and general information that could be used during the presentation and kept for future reference. Her presentation lasted for a duration of just under two hours, during which she was highly informative and engaging throughout. It was a fun and exciting team-building experience for the participants! Due to Covid, the event was held remotely, although we are excited to host her in the future for similar gatherings in person.
