Education, visibility & transparency.

We believe that wine is a catalyst that brings people together through diverse stories, quality products and individual taste. Through wine education, visibility and transparency, we champion the wines and personalities of local producers and bridge the gaps between these producers and the food and beverage industry.

Before Mod, we shared a passion for the industry, working together to bring our unique perspectives and experiences to each and every customer, friend and family member we encountered, with the goal of sharing our passion and helping them to understand their palates. Still looking to expand our knowledge, we actively read, listen and educate ourselves on the ever-evolving landscape of the industry.

Together, through our collective passion for wine, food and culture along with our professional backgrounds and individual experiences, we are able to consider every aspect of the customer experience from bottle to table.
