Luxury, On Our Terms
Many luxury spaces are technically proficient but culturally hollow. High Taste is a cultural read on luxury. We vet the hotels, restaurants, and wine experiences where the service is sharp and the energy lets you show up as your unedited self.
My filter was built over fifteen years at the highest level of global hospitality. From opening the St. Regis Bal Harbour to private tastings across the globe, I’ve navigated the world’s most elite cellars and boardrooms to bring you a selection that finally understands the room.
The standard is high. The energy is felt.
THE STANDARD
Places worth your time let you show up unedited. Sharp service. Serious wine lists. Energy that feels right from the moment you walk in.
No code-switching. No explaining yourself at the door. No shrinking to fit. If a room requires that, it fails.
When the room isn't ready? I build my own.
WHAT I OFFER
Speaking & Hosting
I speak at events, host panels, and MC events for brands that want someone who can hold a room without a script.
Wine expertise. Cultural authority. The ability to make people feel seen, not lectured.
The Shortlist
The hotels, restaurants, and wine programs I've vetted personally and keep coming back to.
Excellent standards. Zero friction. The places where you can show up unedited and be treated like you belong - because you do.
A living guide to what's actually worth your time.
Partnerships and collaborations
Available for luxury brands that want access to culturally fluent consumers..
The value:
Brands get 15+ years of wine expertise, a global network of winemakers and industry insiders, and cultural credibility that makes brands relevant to people who matter.
An audience that trusts the recommendation. Content that moves product. Presence at activations that makes the brand culturally relevant. A network of tastemakers and industry insiders. Luxury that looks authentic, not performative.
The Experiences
Intimate wine events I host in penthouses and private dining rooms. Rare bottles. Good music. People who actually get it.
These aren't networking events. They're not wine education. They're the kind of nights where you meet someone interesting, taste something you'll remember, and leave feeling like you just got access to something real.
Invitation-only. Curated for energy, not résumés.
The Edit
A quarterly wine subscription. 3-6 bottles I've personally selected. Luxury producers. Vintage finds. Selections you wouldn't think to look for on your own.The bottles I'd bring to a dinner party - and the stories behind them.
‣ No boring tasting notes. Just the context you actually want - why this wine matters, what makes it worth your cabinet, and what to pair it with.
‣ Producers and vintages worth your attention.
This is High Taste, delivered to your door.
I also work with luxury brands that want to connect with culturally fluent consumers.
Not through campaigns. Through real experiences, authentic content, and access to a network you can't Google.

High Taste evaluates not just what looks luxurious, but what feels luxurious, respectful, and culturally aligned.
