The man brave enough to pair a @hermannjwiemer wine to Fred and @oskar_bynke’s suspender-shenanigans? The one and only @sugarhillsomm!

“Tom Gannon was the wine director at Rothmann’s NYC for a decade while pursuing his playwriting career. Now living in both NYC and Nashville he covers NY, NJ, NH, ME and TN for the Spire Collection . He holds the Advanced Certificate from the CMS, is a guest sommelier for the Nantucket Wine Festival and occasionally for special events at the private Italian gun club in NYC Tiro a Segno. He still apparently writes from time to time and can be found on Instagram or Twitter.”

You don’t have to take our word for it, listen to Fred and @oskar_bynke: If you don’t buy this calendar then the joke is on you! @hermannjwiemer #sassy suspenders #theyvegonemad #leiderhosenswag

“How shall I pair thee? Let me count the ways...” @eddiesade found the perfect @hosmerwinery pairing for Julia’s pin-up photo...

“Etinosa Emokpae went from milkshakes to Merlot. It was her first restaurant job, Shake Shack, that taught her the value of what true hospitality meant. She worked her way up through Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality, backserving at Untitled at the Whitney and Maialino, where she was introduced to the amazing world of wine. She left to open Lafayette and Little Park as a Captain and became a “cellar rat,” learning through restocking and running inventory of the restaurants’ best wine.
In the hopes of a change from busy New York City, Emokpae moved to Philadelphia. She worked at a.kitchen and served as Head sommelier at Walnut Street Café while achieving her advanced wine certification through the Wine & Spirits Education Trust (WSET). She currently serves as the wine Director of @friday.saturday.sunday.”

And the man tasked with pairing a delicious @anthonyroadwine to @pbcraft delicious photo? The one and only Charlie Marshal of @themarshalnyc! Find out whether he praised the winemaker or the wine for a #persistentcreamymousse...

“Chef Charlie Marshal has always been a huge advocate of eating locally, harvesting responsibly, and supporting local farmers, wineries, and producers. Having grown up on his parents’ farm and in their restaurant, today Charlie’s restaurant The Marshal continues their legacy of the farm to table experience.”

From the ridiculous to the sublime, pairing up wit

From the ridiculous to the sublime, pairing up with Red Newt hooligans is the inimitable @migueld1. A brilliant wine and beverage mind, Miguel is likewise one of those most thoughtful and passionate professionals out there on representation and equity in wine and hospitality. Check out his most recent IG story for a deep dive into Filipino history on this first day of Filipino American History month, and make sure to catch his writing @punch_drink!

“Miguel de Leon is a wine professional of color in New York City, currently the wine director of Pinch Chinese in Manhattan. He’s worked in some tough dining rooms, like Casa Mono, Momofuku, and Per Se in New York City, and Chez Panisse in Berkeley, CA. He would like to remind you that MSG won’t kill you. Black Lives Matter.”

How does a winemaker/model get in the mood for a sultry shoot? Why with some good books and a glass of wine, of course! Peter Bell knows how to relax and sure looks fantastic by candlelight.

A poet, a wine wiz, and now scarred for life, @ganzer_wein took all his @compagnienyc and @supernatural_lake mojo and crafted the perfect pairing of a @sheldrakepoint wine for Dave Breeden’s scandalous photo.
