Berkmann Wine Cellars has announced that sommelier Vincenzo Arnese will be joining its premium sales team, expanding its fine wine division.

After years in hospitality, this move allows me to deepen my connection with the wine industry and work more closely with producers and trade partners. Berkmann’s reputation for quality and integrity makes it the perfect place to continue growing professionally and contribute to the world of fine wine.”
