I want everyone to drink better wine

and I don’t think you have to spend a lot of money to do that


Allow me to curate incredible wine and cocktails for your next event

Private experiences guided by
Jessica, Sommelier and Italian wine & spirits expert
for you and an intimate group of friends
Italian Wine Tours

Experience the best of the thousands of varieties of wines that are made in Italy, along with the cheese and charcuterie typical of their respective region. I select and pair the wines, cheese and charcuterie customized to your interests. In the comfort of your home, we sit and sip as I guide the conversation through the details of each wine, who makes it and what makes it special as well as the cultural context of the region it comes from.Monks Table_Garver_Food_highres-2

Over a decade of experience working in many different facets of the wine and food industry has given me a unique perspective.  Working as a sales representative and manager for a handful of the best import portfolios in California over the past ten years has fueled my passion for the wine of the Old World (Europe) and taught me about the intimate details of distribution, pricing and branding.  Working in restaurants for some of the most dynamic and talented chefs in the Central Coast has given me extensive, real-world expertise not only in food and wine pairing but also in the strategies of creating a compelling, profitable and savvy wine list.  It’s impossible for one person to have all the aspects of experience and expertise to be successful in this business – so allow me to help you focus on what you love while I do what I love.
