Cameron Purvis
Napa,CA
Summary
I strive to go above and beyond in life and my career 100% of the time and that approach has served me well. I've always said wine is the blending of Art and science. My approach to hospitality is centered around understanding each guest's preferences through thoughtful questions and engaging conversations. Every guest wants to feel like a VIP and that's what I strive to achieve in every tasting I host. Being a Napa native, I recognize that wine is a deeply personal experience, there are two kinds of wine, what you like and everything else. As a professional, my role extends beyond guiding guests towards wines that resonate with them; it involves bringing each bottle to life by sharing its craftsmanship and origin story.
