Our wine expert videos showcase sommelier and wine appraiser Tom DiNardo thirty years plus working in the wine industry. Mr. DiNardo has held many positions from “Cellar Rat” (winery helper) to positions such as spirits & wine sales representative and Category Manager for a national spirits & wine retailer. Tom’s wine expert career evolved, he later added the craft and skill set of auctioneer to his dossier of client-focused services, and today he regarded as one the country’s top charity wine auctioneers and spirits & wine appraisers.
Tom DiNardo’s passion for oenology (the joy of wine and wine collecting) grew, and he later had contributed articles as a freelance writer to online journals, The Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and many other respected wine magazines. Eventually he completed his master’s degree in wine & spirits and in 2007 earned his diploma and became a fully certified sommelier or wine expert. Tom has worked with many insurance companies as a highly qualified spirits & wine investigator and consultant. He has also participated as a wine fraud investigator and counterfeit wine identification specialist in a few multi-million dollar litigation cases. As a Daubert qualified expert witness, Tom DiNardo has provided expert testimony in assisting insurance companies, law firms, regulatory agencies, and people involved in fine and rare spirits & wine litigation proceedings.
