About the Author Kirsten Henry Fox, executive sommelier and wine educator, has a passion for creating connections between people. As she developed her first wine education company, Fox School of Wine, her students repeatedly gave her stories of mishandled wine at restaurants, often giving her the names of places to go so she could help the servers understand how to sell and serve wine. She remembered herself being a young server and how intimidated she was when someone would mention wine at her tables. Eventually she founded the Culinary Wine Institute, dedicated to partnering with restaurants to increase customer satisfaction, server confidence and profitability in connection with their wine programs. Her free resources, book, and online sales training have helped 100s of independent restaurants gain traction in the often confusing world of wine.
