***About Nancy Sabatini***
She is passionate about all things connected with wine. Nancy has been called a "wine geek," and rightfully so! Agreeing with Matt Kramer from Wine Spectator...
"Though we may not necessarily think of it this way, a really good wine retailer is actually as much a 'sommelier' as anyone who glides to your table with a wine list in hand. Now, by saying a really good retailer I'm not talking about just anyone who happens to sell wine. You want, well, a geek. Somebody who's just a little nuts about wine, who regularly offers wines that you've never heard of or tried."
This is the model she has instilled in every one of her wine positions.
