Session Description

Speaker: James Korrodi Someone once said, “Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life”. I have been lucky enough to be successful in an industry that I love. My journey in the wine and food business started at a young age. The son of a European chef, I grew up cooking in the French kitchen of our family restaurant. When I moved to Austin 20 years ago it was a very different city with a very different food scene. I decided to make a career out of what I had known all my life and jumped in with no backup plan what so ever. I got my first job as a part time wine steward at the ripe age of 22, and I have never looked back! I spent the next 18 years honing my craft in various jobs. I have worked as a wine steward, beverage director, wine retailer, wine wholesaler and now a sales manager for a family owned wine importer and producer. Although I have various certifications from the Master Court of Sommeliers, Society of Wine educators, and Wine and Spirits Education Trust, I still believe a cold Lone Star and a barbacoa taco is one of the finest pairings of all time.
