Who are we?

We’re here because we love wine and whiskey and want to share that passion. Too often the people who deem themselves experts in this arena spend more time looking down their noses at others than they do talking about what makes these beverages so tasty, but not here! The only thing we look down our noses towards is the bottom of a glass. Whether you want to build your knowledge, entertain friends or clients, start building your collection, or just geek out with someone who loves wine and whiskey as much as you do, you’re in the right spot.

Chris Rosoff is the founder and lead Sommelier here at W3. His appreciation for wine started at an early age, learning from his grandparents who were passionate wine drinkers and avid collectors, and continued from there. As he learned more about wine, the more fascinated he became. He also started to pay attention to how that message was being delivered to others. Unfortunately, the snobbery that goes with wine and whiskey is all too common and he set out to change it. After extensive personal experience collected over decades, Chris became certified as a Sommelier both by the National Wine School and as an Advanced Sommelier by the International Sommelier Guild. He now lectures around the country on a professional basis to help people understand more about what they’re drinking in an environment which is fun and comfortable. He is as adept at helping newcommers feel welcome, as he is talking about the details of wine chemistry with vintners, or rickhouse details with distillers.

If you’d like to learn more and have some fun while doing it, we’re pretty sure you’ll find his passion for the subject contagious. We look forward to hearing from you and scheduling a consultation so we can best understand your needs and find a time and create plan that works!
