Brian Sypher has worked with Skurnik Wines & Spirits in management for over 12 years, the first 10 of which were in New York. Today he oversees the business for the company statewide in California as general manager and vice president. In between his Skurnik Wines posts, Brian was the general manager for Soter Vineyards in Carlton, Oregon, and a partner in the North Valley Vineyards brand over a seven year span of time. He has been a staunch ambassador nationwide for great wines of the Willamette Valley. Earlier stints in both restaurant management and fine wine retail set the table for a dedicated career in the fine wine business, where wholesale distribution and brand building are Brian's greatest industry passions.
