Hello, my name is Greg Schroeder
I bring over 30 years of diverse wine experience
In those 30 years, I've been curating, selling, collecting, and consuming wine. I’ve carefully built a personal wine cellar of over 1,600 bottles through effective wine cellar management, representing wine regions from around the world. My deep expertise in the retail wine industry has also contributed to my passion for fine wine, and I take pride in offering wine tasting services that enhance the experience of wine collection building.
My background includes 14 years at a retail wine store that I founded, called Amazing Grapes Wine Store in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. There, I developed a strong wine retail business acumen that now shapes my work in building forward-thinking, successful wine ventures, as well as restaurant wine buying, menu creations, and wine cellar management. Additionally, I offer wine collection building and wine tasting services to enhance the overall experience for my clients.
When not immersed in the world of wine, I enjoy discovering unique dining experiences and enhancing our wine collection building at home with Silvia, my gorgeous wife of 31+ years. We also focus on wine cellar management and perfecting my culinary skills together!
