If you’re looking to elevate your event with a truly memorable and personalized experience, I cannot recommend Tastings with the Glass Man highly enough. I worked with Zach for my wedding, and from start to finish, he was absolutely outstanding.
I chose the “Choice Pour” package because I really wanted a custom wine tasting experience for my guests—and that’s exactly what I got, and more. Zach took the time to understand my personal palate and seamlessly matched each wine to complement my venue’s menu. The level of thought and care he put into the selections was incredible, and it truly showed.
Our guests are still talking about how unique and enjoyable the experience was. It added such a sophisticated and interactive element to the wedding that made the night feel even more special.
All in all, I spent $2,400 on the service, and it was worth every single penny. If you’re on the fence, don’t be—this is one of those details that makes a lasting impression. Zach and Tastings with the Glass Man exceeded every expectation I had.
From the moment we booked Tastings with the Glass Man, Zach made the whole process simple and stress-free. He took time to understand what we wanted and curated a wine selection that felt personal to us and our guests. What really stood out was how effortless he made everything feel on the day of our wedding—our guests raved about their interactions with him and the quality of the wines he chose. Zach went above and beyond to find bottles that made our celebration truly special, and honestly, every penny was worth it just to see how happy everyone was. We're already planning to hire him for our dinner parties because working with him was such a joy. If you're thinking about using Tastings with the Glass Man, don't hesitate.

Founder and Wine Specialist
Zach got into wine by accident, working at a wine shop in Westchester while he finished college. He's worked across New York, Napa, Sonoma, and Connecticut as a wine educator, beverage director, and has been doing private tastings for years. Tastings with the Glass Man started when his co-founder asked him to handle the wine at her wedding. Guests are still talking about it almost a year later. When he's not working with couples, he plays guitar, builds Legos, keeps working on his education, and reminds people his Medieval Literature degree has been useful exactly zero times.
