Daniel’s earliest memories include tagging along with his father to restaurants owned by family friends, where he preferred watching the cooks in the kitchen to sitting quietly at the table. It seemed only natural to become a Chef growing up. After many successful years in fine dining, Daniel felt it was important to deepen his knowledge of wine and spirits. He has reached the considerable level of Wine & Spirits Educational Trust certified wine educator as a holder of the globally respected WSET Diploma and is now a student of the Master of Wine program.
