Wine Scout

There’s a new Wine Scout riding with us—Matt Simon.

Raised among the early vines of Napa Valley, Matt grew up where the dust was still settling and the cellars were just beginning to tell their stories. While other kids played ball, he played between barrels—learning early that wine isn’t just a drink, it’s a living history.

With a degree in Anthropology and Archaeology, Matt’s lens on wine runs deep. He’s studied the role wine played in ancient rituals, trade routes, and the rhythms of daily life. To him, every bottle is a time capsule—one that speaks of place, people, and purpose.

“Today, as a Wine Scout, I bring together my love of culture, storytelling, and connection to help clients discover wines that resonate on a deeper level. Whether it’s an old-world classic or a new-world gem, I’m here to help you find wines that speak to who you are and what you love.”

Welcome, Matt.
