Q. Tell everyone who you are and what you do?
A. I am a wine shop owner of Wine Shoe in Atlanta Georgia and a chef. Being brought up in India, food was an integral part of my bringing.

In 201, I had a life changing trip to Washington State while visiting wineries in that region. That trip solidified my decision to have a brick and mortar in the form of a wine shop. Wine Shoe is a boutique retail wine shop and tasting room in downtown Atlanta, Castleberry Hill neighborhood, we offer private and public classes for wine education as well as walk-in tastings.
