Gary J. Swantner

I live for new experiences, especially when it comes to wine and travel. My goal is to help people discover wine within the context of their own world since everyone perceives new things differently based on their unique set of experiences.

I hold the WSET Diploma in Wines & Spirits and Certified Sommelier certificates. I also earned an MS in Biomedical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis and BS in Chemical Engineering from Oklahoma State University.

I grew up in Albuquerque, NM, and started my professional career in Philadelphia. After spending three years in New York to complete wine studies and get my feet wet in the industry, I became a digital nomad. I drove around the US and traveled through South America & Europe while taking breaks when needed. I reside wherever I may be.
