Lynne Bryant, Neighbor

If you like wine, you're in the right place ... even better if you love bubbles! I'm Lynne Bryant, a certified sommelier in the Silicon Valley area and I've been in the wine biz for about seven years. I've worked in tasting rooms, as a beverage director at a restaurant, but mostly in a retail environment working with hundreds of wines from around the world. I've been asked many questions about wine, paired many wines with food and saved lives with wine — no really — finding a wine for the mother-in-law who doesn't like anything, saved a guy's life*!

I like to write about wine experiences in real life with family and friends.

I'm not all about wine though. I have an amazing husband, four beautiful daughters and the best dog ever, Wally! (He's in the picture with me.) I hope to give you friendly wine advice, fun food pairings and share inspirational stuff too.

When I'm not working with wine, I'm researching and writing. I'm a grammar geek and love to learn new languages. I love inspirational stories, I'm a sucker for just about anything French, and I can dance all night long. Champagne is my favorite splash!

My wish for you is to feel comfortable with your wine choices, find a bit of humor here and be inspired to take action with anything in your life; wine related or not.

I work part-time in a retail wine shop and as an independent wine stylist/consultant for your home or company gathering.
