Jay's Insider Tips
Jay has been a part of the Prince Edward County community since 2018. He originally moved to learn more about the production side of the wine world, leaving behind the sommelier world of restaurants. Trading suits for boots, Jay now focuses on providing educational, private wine tastings directly at guests' accommodations, offering an interactive and personalized experience with Sommelier @ Large. He also teaches Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) courses and culinary classes at Loyalist College, preparing the next generation of chefs, many of whom Jay hopes will choose to build their careers in The County.
