Detroit Wine Examiner | Bio
Find out more about Chris:

Having spent ten years as a sommelier in some of Detroit's top restaurants and as many as a wine writer for magazines such as Details, and having picked grapes and cleaned primary fermenters at Seven Lakes Vineyards, Michigan's only appellation d'origine contrôlée Grand Cru winery, Chris has recently left the rat race to pursue his dream of panhandling in Greektown. He can be contacted at chriskassel1@aol.com or at the corner of Monroe and Beaubian if it's not snowing.
