A "Nichols Worth of Wine" shares with readers my perspective on news, events and
personalities in the vast world of wine, Topics, local, national and global, cover grape-toglass issues and trends of interest to wine enthusiasts, by offering commentary on the commerce, politics, culture, and history of wine and it's inextricable link to food.
"Wine Tips" offers easy to understand information on everything from how to find, buy, and store your wine purchases.
"FAQ’s" answers your questions on anything and everything about wine and my responses and opinions.
"Around Town" relates my wine experiences at local restaurants, and my recommendations on the best local wine merchants to buy your wines.
Reviewing wines, is extraordinarily subjective. Everyone's palate is different and individual tastes can vary widely depending on many factors. The wines I review for www.napleswinenews.com are my personal selections.

With more than 30 years of experience in the hospitality and wine industry, including
national Wine Buyer and Director of Wine Education for a major hotel company and as a
consultant to numerous independent restaurants, Naples Wine Solutions provides clients with access to an entire
spectrum of wine consulting services. Currently, I direct wine service for the Naples Winter Wine

professionals to assist with all of your wine needs.
Because we are local to southwest Florida, we are available when you are, offering customized
service tailored to your specific needs. You’ll never be obligated to "buy" more than you request or require.
Our cost-effective wine consulting services include cellar management, sourcing those
"impossible" to find wines to fill out your cellar, expediting the sale of all or part of your wine
collection, and providing sommelier services for your private events.
Why spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars for "canned" programs that are filled with
services you don’t need or want?
Why spend hours of your valuable time trying to determine the "state" of your cellar?
Why frustrate yourself looking for, interviewing and directing wine service for your private
events?
Are you looking to buy a particular wine or wines to enhance the value and stature of your
cellar and not sure where to start?
Do you want to sell part of, or your entire cellar? We find bona fide buyers willing and able to
pay a fair market value for your collection.
Call or e-mail us with your particular needs. We will be happy to demonstrate how our pricing
structure cannot be matched by the big, corporate, national wine consulting organizations.
