I get wine offers all day long from from importers and suppliers, and you know I could have ten thousand labels to choose from, and those are just at any given time ten thousand labels.
So at the over the course of twenty-four months, it could be a hundred thousand different wines. That's what daunting to me, or like a lot of beginners, right? Like Bingbing is also an example. Yeah. When we think about the wine, when we look at all the list, there's like we.
How how can we choose? Yeah, we will go to a wine store and ask the staff, but that person is probably just a apprentice or working in this industry for two years. Well, and and the person who works in a store could have a very high level of knowledge, but there they are.
restrained to whatever the store has at that moment. I have the ability if somebody requests a wine, I can, I can go to the moon and back to get it. So an example here, is this wine that a client asked for. This Pedro's Blancs is a, is a natural wine from southern France, and
I tried to get it here from my connections in Washington State, but it's such a rare wine that that they were sold out. So I went to California, and one of my colleagues at a company called Vine and Rare was able to source this for me. So a lot of my success in sourcing wines is is through having built a network.
Over the last ten years, in in the beverage world, you really, yeah, really like master sommelier for the people, for the people, I know it's not master sommelier for.
just no, I mean, we I have really cool wines like Screaming Eagle, but we have one bottle. Like we don't need a ton of Screaming Eagle. I'd rather have a ton of
you know Walla Walla Syrah and Premier Cru Chablis and Aussie Shiraz, that's good. That you know, typical people can drink, because that's what it's what I want to drink. So anything that's in my personal collection that we talked about earlier, the the wines that I'm drinking, those are the same kinds of wines that I'm selecting for the program. Yeah.
