Corey Fine has built a deep-rooted connection to the wine world, shaped by his time living and working in Napa and Sonoma. After honing his wine skills in the Culinary Institute of America's Accelerated Wine & Beverage Program, he became a Certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers. Corey’s passion for wine also took him to Bordeaux and Burgundy each year during his time at JJ Buckley Fine Wines, where he tasted new and aged vintages, connected with winemakers, and gained a first hand understanding of the craft behind some of the world’s greatest wines. In addition to his wine expertise, Corey earned an MBA from USC’s Marshall School of Business, where he led the Marshall Wine Club as President. He has also held roles as an Account Executive at Toast and an Area Sales Manager at SpotOn, where he focused on empowering small and medium-sized businesses with innovative business solutions.
