All about Thomas…

Thomas Brenner is a sommelier, beverage consultant, wine buyer and wine writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. A native to central Germany, Thomas has lived in Europe, the Washington D.C. area and California. When he is not researching material for his wine writing or working as a sommelier, he enjoys traveling to winegrowing regions near and far.

Mr. Brenner has displayed an interest in geography, history and culture from an early age, setting himself up seamlessly for a career in wine.

He has performed as sommelier in establishments with coveted 1, 2 and 3 star Wine Spectator awards for all levels and types of restaurants. As a wine buyer for a popular hotel fine dining outlet, performing as manager and sommelier at several Michelin-starred restaurants and offering sommelier wine pairing dinners, Thomas constantly adapts to an ever-evolving set of clientele and dining

environments. Thomas currently runs the wine program at the prestigious Palo Alto Hills Golf and Country Club, where he oversees on-site dining outlets, a retail beverage program and private events.

Thomas enjoys lending his expertise to fundraisers such as Auction Napa Valley, Pebble Beach Food and Wine as well as charity dining events at smaller boutique restaurants and online forums. When he is not actively engaged in wine-related work, he spends his time with his 8 year-old daughter in and around his residence in San Jose, CA and eagerly plans his next trip to distant wine growing regions across the globe.
