Most days you can find me at Cassia, where I am currently the General Manager and Wine Director. Chef Bryant Ng's Southeast Asian cuisine pairs perfectly with my love of Riesling, Grower Champagne and Beaujolais. I believe in opening guests up to new varietals and stretching people outside of their comfort zones with wine, just as the cuisine does as well.
"Ace sommelier Marianna Caldwell leads her wine list with a section labeled “What I’m Drinking Now.” Let it direct you to offbeat options — like a Hungarian orange or a lemony Alpine white from Switzerland — that meet the food in all its superb complexities."
