An Introduction to Wine Pimp Liquid Love
By Jake Kosseff

Providing unique and satisfying drinking opportunities for restaurants and individuals.

After working for 4 years as the Wine & Spirits director at Cascadia Restaurant, I saw a need that wasn’t being fulfilled by traditional restaurants and their wine programs for wine and spirits expert advice and services. This is why I left Cascadia Restaurant to found Wine Pimp Liquid Love and Wine Pimp Beverage Solutions.

Wine Pimp offers a number of services designed to make unique and satisfying wine experiences easy. I will do just about anything associated with wine or drinking in general (including non-alcoholic beverages). What follows is a brief description of some of the services that individuals have found to be especially helpful:

Wine and spirits event planning: for an extra special dinner, ask me to help select and locate exceptional wines based on your menu, and if you so desire, I will come to your house to serve and talk about them.
Formal or informal wine tastings:
let me help you plan and execute a wine tasting party we can focus on any aspect(s) of wine that interest you, and I can do anything from set up a blind tasting and offer tasting guidance to discussing the wines with a PowerPoint presentation.
Antique and rare wine location: I also have extensive experience with antique and collectible wines, and can eliminate much of the guesswork in dealing with old wines by locating them and assisting with their purchase.
Cellar evaluation and management: let me evaluate and organize your cellar, creating a system of organization, recommendations on drinkability and ageability, and valuations . . . I can even assist by recommending a purchase schedule and locating wines that will maintain or build your cellar to your specifications.

Wine Pimp Liquid Love also provides services for businesses who want to incorporate fine wine into events or as executive gifts.

Wine Pimp Beverage Solutions provides wine and beverage consulting for restaurants that want to make a commitment to excellent beverage programs. Whether you need a new wine list, some specialty cocktails, staff training on wine, spirits and service, or a calendar of wine events to highlight your own unique program, Wine Pimp Beverage Solutions can help.

Wine is something to enjoy, and too many of us feel intimidated because of the vast and often confusing terminology and ritual associated with wine. My goal at Wine Pimp is to make unique and satisfying wine experiences easily accessible to all.
