MEET OUR STAFF

KEVIN GELLER Kevin brings high energy to the store, and his passion is contagious. His knack for pairing wines to cuisine, and to special occasions, will guarantee that you'll leave with a superb selection that may very well become your new favorite wine.

ANDY PETERSEN In and around the wine world for a couple of decades, Andy keeps his tastes fresh by searching out producers who are willing to shake things up. His experiences have taken him from the vineyards to the auction market. He'll be happy to talk about any level of wine with you – at any time! (Currently, he's camera shy)

BOB SCHERB For Bob, finding a true expression of terroir in the bottle makes selling wine a labor of love. At a time when selection, experience, and connoisseurship are more important than ever, he’s made L&E the best thing he can imagine: the kind of wine shop he’d like to visit.

NEIL THOMPSON When it comes to getting a wine recommendation, Neil's more likely to inquire, "What's for dinner?" before asking, "How much do you want to spend?" Ask him for your favorites and he'll likely find them for you, or maybe he'll turn you on to a new find.
