Attention, Readers: It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the newest member of our reviewer team: Anthony Mueller. An accomplished sommelier and presenter based in Napa Valley, Anthony comes to us with more than 20 years of experience in the food and wine industry. He has worked as a sommelier in some of the top restaurants in the U.S., including the three-Michelin-starred The French Laundry in Yountville, California, Tribute in Michigan and Tarbell's in Phoenix.
He holds numerous wine certifications, including the Advanced Sommelier certificate from the Court of Master Sommeliers, the Wine & Spirit Education Trust Level 3 Award in Wines, the Certified Specialist of Wine from the Society of Wine Educators and the Certified Sake Advisor certification from the Sake School of America. When he is not sparring with his friends in the sport of blind tasting, Mueller enjoys riding his motorcycle and exploring the beauty of Napa Valley. Although he has never been to culinary school, Mueller loves cooking elaborate meals in his small kitchen at home and preparing dishes made with ingredients grown from his home garden. Anthony will be taking over reviewer responsibility for the regions of Washington state and South Africa.
