Aaron joined taste56 in 2019 as the Executive Wine Director before assuming his current role as the VP of Operations. Prior to being part of the taste56 family, Aaron was the Wine Director at the Michelin Starred restaurant Café Boulud where he was responsible for the curation and pricing strategy of its 4,500 bottle wine cellar, including maintaining a vast network of top distributor and key producer relationships as well as spearheading staff education, mentorship, and the management of private events. Before assuming his role at Cafe Boulud, Aaron rose from a server to sommelier, leading a team of three somms at Restaurant Daniel. His experience not only sparked his passion for wine and hospitality, but also illuminated their important as key business differentiators. In 2016, Aaron took on the side role of beverage director at the critically acclaimed Brooklyn restaurant, Oxalis, then a pop-up, including designing and executing the service delivery which sparked an entrepreneurial itch and his eventual interest in joining a start-up. The culmination of his experience, passion for operational excellence, and belief in our mission at taste56 lead to many conversations with James Fantaci and ultimately led to his eventual addition to our team as one of the earliest hires. He is now a key part of our executive team.
