Chris
Chris is a talented and dedicated certified sommelier who, at the young age of 26, has already built an impressive career in the world of wine. His journey began by gaining experience at a big box store, where he quickly discovered his passion for viticulture and enology. Since joining the team at Neighborhood Wine & Spirits just over a year ago, Chris has become an invaluable asset, sharing his wealth of knowledge with customers and helping them find the perfect bottle for any occasion.
Chris's dedication to his craft extends beyond his work at the wine shop, as he spent time working the harvest at the renowned Brooks Winery in Oregon in the fall of 2021. This hands-on experience further deepened his understanding of the winemaking process and allowed him to appreciate the art and science behind each bottle.
In his personal life, Chris is lucky to share his passion for wine with his wonderful girlfriend, Mell, who is also a certified sommelier.
