Eric (The French Wine Guy) specializes in introducing American audiences to French wines that reflect the authentic nature of each region’s terroir*
Curated selection of fine French wines: the scope and breadth of French wines — even for wine professionals — can be overwhelming. Eric is fully bilingual and bicultural, and has been working in the food and wine industry for decades. Let him be your guide.

Sales force and staff training: with 8 years of experience as sommelier and 32 years as a wine importer/distributor, I enjoy coaching sales reps in how to talk to customers about the wines they present — emphasizing the quality of the fruit, the structure, the balance, and the overall feel. For restaurants, I can be of assistance to managers and waiters in recommending food and wine pairings to their patrons
