A little bit about Tom Gannon...

Tom Gannon started in the wine business as a bartender. After studying theatre at Miami University in Ohio and having two plays published he moved to New York City to continue writing and soaking up the city. He figured he might be behind the bar awhile and began taking wine classes out of a desire to match his knowledge with the wines he was tasting as the head bartender at Fleur de Sel. Those classes through the American Sommelier Association at Windows on the World in 2001 led to his first sommelier job at Rothmann's Steakhouse in midtown Manhattan. After nine incredible years he left Rothmann's in 2011 and began working for the Spire Collection, the high-end portfolio of Jackson Family Wines with a unique region- NY, NJ, NH, ME and TN as he lives both in NYC and here in Nashville, TN. Tom is the consulting sommelier for Tiro a Segno, the private Italian gun club in Greenwich Village, a Chevalier of the Confereie des Cheveliers des Tastevins Albany Chapter, co-founder of Toga Party Racing Stables in Saratoga Springs, and a trustee of Nashville’s Whiskey House. He has his Advanced Certificate from the Court of Master Sommeliers.
