LIZA SMITH

Job Titles:
  • Wine Society Representative - Executive Level & Your Personal Wine Tour Guide
Having been with Schlossadler since 2002, my passion to match people with wine has been deeply rewarding. I've always loved wine, traveling and people and my position with Schlossadler has provided the opportunity to experience them all. My interest in European wines began with my first trip to Europe many years ago where I discovered nuances in wine and what made each one unique. Since then, I've traveled abroad several more times to keep "refreshing" my palate and knowledge of European wines.
