The finished table looks effortless.

The hours before it don’t.

Quiet tastings. Side-by-side glasses. Notes that keep getting longer. Conversations with the chef until the pairing finally feels right.

I love this work, so the time rarely feels like work. Still, most people never see how much of it goes into letting a wine show who it really is.

I wrote about the research, the reflection, and the creativity behind these sensory evenings.
