Founder of Vinoble Retail Tasting Bar
Danny Tai is a philistine when it comes to wine; he knows exactly what he likes in his glass. “Definitely French,” he avers. “Especially from Burgundy, Rhone, and the Jura. I prefer my wines feminine and elegant, so I can drink them all night long.”

It is my wish for sommeliers and specialists to receive the respect they deserve.”
