well become your new favorite.

 SAM
WELCH
Sam, our resident expert on all things geographical,
says he works in a wine shop because it’s
the best way he knows to share the wines
he loves. Whether you’re looking to
try something new or searching for an old
standby, every sale is a conversation and
a chance to find a wine you’ll love
as well.

Paris before declaring Portland home. In
working with wine, he looks to establish
a friendly rapport with customers while

feel to the shop.
