WINE

Zach’s career started in New Orleans and New York—the charming cities roped him in to the spectacular food and wine scene. He would go on to earn impressive sommelier credentials, graduate hundreds of students, and work in every position of the wine supply chain. As an importer, he traveled across Europe visiting hundreds of winemakers to learn each family’s story and treasured production practices. In San Francisco, he stacked Michelin Stars as Beverage Director for the renowned Lazy Bear , and most recently as Director of Operations for Aphotic (which also won the rare Green Star for sustainability). In between accolades, he founded and sold Prologue Wine Co., a nationwide eCommerce wine retail company. Having discovered the budding scene in the Tampa Bay Area, he recently relocated to St. Pete where he continues to delight guests with delicious wine and unforgettable hospitality.
