James’s wine career started at a hot dog stand in New York state. Fancy, right?!
Working the grill during the humid summers in Western New York, he’d greet customers as they arrived by shouting, “Whatcha want? Whatcha got?”— and the banter between the ‘grill man’ and customers began. After moving to Salt Lake City, he traded the charcoal grill for fine dining.
James fell in love with the fast-paced environment of the floors of Utah’s top-rated restaurants. He quickly made the decision to continue his culinary education, being especially motivated by wine’s power to enhance the dining experience. He took that passion and excitement with him into his studies to become a certified Sommelier and an Educator.
Now instead of “How many dogs?” it’s “How ‘bout a little ‘splishy splash’ to get you started tonight?”
A decade later and James now has an internationally recognized wine academy, his Wine Academy of Utah. Both Katie Schall and Chef Heather Cox of Beehive Cheese have even achieved their WSET Level 1 Wine Certification through the Academy! We know first-hand Jim’s awesomeness.
