Eric’s love for wine goes beyond just tasting; he shares his journey from his early encounters with wine to memorable experiences like savoring a 1990 CInIello Barolo, which deepened his appreciation for the intricacies of wine. You’ll also hear about the dynamic changes in wine regions and the need for consumers to explore beyond the popular labels to discover hidden gems, especially in regions like Barolo and Paso Robles.


But that’s not all—Eric’s life is a blend of passions. He talks about his days as a goth music enthusiast, his transition to culinary arts, and how his martial arts training shaped his approach to life. We’ll touch on his unique experiences with music production and promotion in New York City’s vibrant club scene and explore his transformative journey from the military to becoming a respected figure in the wine world.
