TAILORED TASTING

Service Description

The Return of the Glassman – The Pursuit of Balance - Perfect for taking your day to day experience of wine to a completely different level, best experienced individually or as a couple After two decades in the wine world, Alex Pelling knows that great wine isn’t just about the bottle—it’s about the moment. As a seasoned sommelier with 20 years of experience, Alex built his career around guiding others toward wines that didn’t just impress, but spoke directly to the drinker’s taste. Then, for a time, he stepped away. But like all things worth aging, some callings only grow stronger with time. Recently, Alex dusted off his sommelier hat—well-worn, well-earned—and stepped back into the world of wine with a refreshed perspective and a renewed mission: to help people experience wine in its fullest expression. For Alex, that means more than sourcing exceptional bottles. It means elevating the entire act of drinking, starting with the vessel. Glassware is his obsession—the unseen art that transforms a good pour into a remarkable one. Every shape, curve, and rim has a purpose. His belief? The perfect glass doesn’t just hold the wine, it honors it. He’s always in search of that elusive harmony: the perfectly balanced wine in the perfectly paired glass. In the experience Alex leads, guests are invited to explore wine with intention. You'll discover bottles that echo the profiles you already love—but with a twist. Each one has been carefully chosen to align with your tastes while gently nudging your palate into new territory. And each pour is served in glassware selected not for trend, but for transformation—enhancing aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel in ways you can feel with every sip. This is wine discovery with structure and soul. It’s for those who know what they like, but are ready to fall for something new—one thoughtful glass at a time.
