Our leadership event, featuring a reception-style wine tasting, was a great success thanks to David. He made everything leading up to the event effortless and straightforward. After describing our vision for the occasion, David provided us with a comprehensive list of Washington wines within our budget. From there, he took care of all the shopping and arrived with everything we needed. His expertise in wine was evident, and he graciously allowed us to use his glasses throughout dinner, even allowing us to return them the next day. I strongly encourage anyone organizing a wine-related event to consider David for their needs.
