Steven Wynn: Wine Lover, Master of Wine Sales
Steve was born in England, and moved in 2000 to the US, where he travelled the country in a VW camper van.
His love and interest for wine began while completing his diploma in hotel management, back in Reading, England. He has worked in many fantastic restaurants both in his home country and in New England.
Throughout his 7 years in Rhode Island, Steve has continued his work in the wine industry on both the distribution and retail sides, before joining The Savory Grape team.
He finds learning about wine, beer and spirits fascinating and continues to develop his knowledge about all things in the beverage industry.
He loves all wine but his absolute favorites are Red Bordeaux, anything from Piedmont, Alsatian whites and Spanish wines too...It’s fair to say Steve is a lover of Scotch too.You can reach Steve at steve@thesavorygrape.com.
