Saint Elle — Beverage Director

Michael has seen a lot of different sides of the beverage industry over the last decade. He has a true passion for educating and engaging clients with his immense knowledge of wine and spirits. Michael began bartending while in college at Belmont, here he found his niche in the art of hospitality and all things beverage. He quickly worked his way up to General Manager of Jackson's Bar and Bistro, an old Nashville treasure loved by tourists and locals alike.

He was inspired while selecting the wines for their program and found he wanted to increase his knowledge on the subject, this lead him to complete the Court of Master Sommeliers course. As a master mixologist he developed each cocktail from scratch and also selected the wine menu, ultimately becoming one of the most desirable lists in the city.

Michael is our Beverage Director at Saint Elle and a WSET III Sommelier. We are beyond excited to share his knowledge with you, our clients and guests.
