Speaker Bio
A former PGA Golf Professional, his interest in wine began on a trip to the Napa Valley in 2002. From that first trip to wine country, he knew he wanted to pursue wine as a career. A move to Oregon in 2007 set him on that path, and he hasn’t looked back. Since entering the luxury wine industry in Oregon, Tom has managed tasting rooms and wine clubs for Domaine Serene and Elizabeth Chambers Cellar, helping them reach new levels of sales and memberships. His analytical approach and critical thinking process mean that no stone will be left unturned. When not focusing on Cépage, you can find Tom playing golf, grilling, hiking, and walking his dog Auggie. Favorite wine varietal…Pinot Noir, of course – but he really likes Oregon Chardonnay too.
