Our Host and Wine Expert
Joe M Brandolo
Wine expert Joe Brandolo's career spans over three decades in sales, marketing, and as an educator/speaker in the wine and spirit industry, preceded by over a decade in the hospitality industry.
He learned first-hand knowledge by traveling around the world both leading and participating in tours of vineyards, wineries, distilleries, farms, and food production facilities. While traveling he saw how culinary choices blended with wines and spirits were all part of the fabric of the local culture. Brandolo states, "I have been fortunate to have had a career that is my passion." Brandolo gravitated towards the winemaker who took more pride in their vineyards then the aging room tours of barrels and stainless-steel tanks. "Some of the most famous winemakers and distillers taught me that explaining their craft was less important than what inspired them to create their art."
