Renee Main, CSW
Renee caught the wine bug while living in Italy during University. When returning back home she wanted to bring the appreciation for fine food and wine she enjoyed while living abroad. She became a tour guide at Robert Mondavi winery learning all about Napa’s wine history and how to walk backwards. To broaden her knowledge she took positions with wine distributors and importers in San Francisco. Renee has been studying wine and completed her WSET Level 2 and is a Certified Specialist of Wine. She has been educating others since 2008 and most recently teaching small private courses to large corporate events in the tech community. She loves demystifying wine, cheersing to others accomplishments and, of course, champagne!
