“For me, wine is as much about people as it is about what's in the glass. It doesn't matter how much someone knows about wine — we all bring our own unique personal experiences and intuitions to the table, and I love to celebrate that! " says Alex Ring, Wine Director of Proxi, remarking on his wine philosophy. " My goal as a sommelier is to offer an approachable presence, encourage people to be open to new experiences, and make sure everyone is having a great time. ”
