🍷 I’m the GM & wine buyer for Azzura Wine Bar in Henderson, NV—a wine bar, bottle shop, & event space dedicated to small-batch, artisanal wines. In a city flooded with casino-driven lists, we’re building something different. I’m seeking my algorithm that connects me with the artisanal world.

Don't you forget that we're having the biggest Christmas party of our lives in Kyiv when the war is over, and everyone's invited.
We drink, roam the streets of Kyiv, and have snowball fights until we just can't.
