when larry ruvo, senior managing director of southern Wine & Spirits of Nevada, and Dr. Jerry Vallen, founding dean of the William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration, came up with the notion of UNLVino® 41 years ago, they couldn’t have possibly predicted the size and success of the event you see today. The goal has always been to raise funds for the hotel college while at the same time allowing people to experience the simple pleasures of life over a glass of wine.

The event began as a small affair in the Southern Wine & Spirits warehouse. Since then, it has expanded to grander and more sophisticated venues and serves the palates of thousands of guests.

The UNLVino® Grand Tasting is now one of the largest wine tasting events in the country and is undeniably one of the most unique and spectacular university fundraisers to be found anywhere.

The money UNLVino® has raised over the years has supported thousands of students in their studies to become some of the premier leaders in the hotel and hospitality industry worldwide.

Many students can attribute at least part of their future success to their participation in running UNLVino®.

This year, the 41st annual UNLVino® will be most impressive to date with three days of illustrious events for wine, beer and spirit enthusiasts. For 2015, we are bringing back the beloved Sake Fever to Red Rock Resort's scenic pool. Southern Wine & Spirits of Nevada’s Master Mixologists Francesco Lafranconi and J.R. Starkus will craft inventive libations and UNLV’s Don Snyder will be recognized for his leadership at the university and in the community.

A variety of champagnes and sparkling wines will be

uncorked at Bubble-Licious under the stars at the Venetian’s Doge’s Palace Plaza. A fan-favorite event, Bubble-Licious, will let guests enjoy small plates from the Venetian and Palazzo’s outstanding collection of restaurants, as well as James Beard Award-winning Chef Daniel Boulud, who will be honored with the Dom Pérignon Award of Excellence.

Returning to Paris Las Vegas’ ballroom, UNLVino’s® timehonored Grand Tasting will delight guests with an unrivaled collection of premium beverages and a fresh entertainment lineup, including a performance by famed modern jazz musician Frankie Moreno. Chef Steve Martorano will be honored for his culinary accomplishments and bold Italian-American restaurant style as the weekend’s main event indulges guests with delectable cuisine from UNLV’s culinary students and celebrated Vegas restaurants.

Of course, these events would not be possible without the dedication and donations of the suppliers, the hosting properties, the staff and management of Southern Wine & Spirits, and last but not least, the faculty and students of the hospitality school.

We wish to give a heartfelt thanks to the hundreds of volunteers working each event because without them the execution of UNLVino® would be impossible. Likewise, we wish to thank you, our loyal guests and greatest supporters; without you, this event would certainly not have come to fruition.

We invite you to celebrate 41 fabulous years with this time honored tradition and raise a glass as we take a Sip for Scholarship!

From the Dean It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 41st annual UNLVino®. In 1974, Larry Ruvo, senior managing director of Southern Wine & Spirits of Nevada, and Jerry Vallen, dean emeritus of the UNLV College of Hotel Administration, created an event that continues today to provide significant annual fundraising to support UNLV students.

With the assistance of Caesars Entertainment, Southern Wine & Spirits of Nevada, the Venetian, Station Casinos and many vendors, we continue to raise thousands of dollars for the William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration each year. These funds have been used to help hundreds of students succeed in reaching their academic goals. In fact, since the year 2000 approximately 600 students have received over $1.1 million in scholarships as a result of outstanding support from the community for this event. None of this could be accomplished without the generosity of our sponsors and attendees.

While we are proud that the Grand Tasting continues to be one of the largest single-day wine tastings in the nation, it is amazing to see how the events have continued to evolve beyond the Grand Tasting into a multi-day lifestyle event with world-class venues, food, and entertainment. We are honored that Daniel Boulud, Don Snyder, and Steve Martorano will be joining us to accept their Dom Perignon awards of excellence.

It is wonderful that so many alumni and friends come back year after year to celebrate this remarkable series of events with us.

Thank you for joining me in taking a “Sip for Scholarship.”

From the Governor As Governor of the State of Nevada, it is with distinct pleasure that I welcome you all to the 41st Annual UNLVino®. Thank you to those who have worked diligently to put this successful event together.

This event is sponsored in partnership between Southern Wine & Spirits of Nevada and the William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). UNLVino®, an annual tradition for more than four decades, helps to support the advancement of higher education in our state and is an example of how successful and beneficial partnerships between public and private institutions can be.

The proceeds from this three-day event will help raise millions of scholarship dollars for students of UNLV’s William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration.

Congratulations to those individuals being honored throughout UNLVino®, and I hope you all enjoy this wonderful event.

Sincere regards,

Brian Sandoval

Governor of the State of Nevada

Sincerely yours,

From the Mayor On behalf of the citizens of the great City of Las Vegas, it is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to the 41st Annual UNLVino® Wine Tasting Event taking place April 1618, 2015, at Doge's Palace at the Venetian, Red Rock Hotel and Paris Las Vegas. I am delighted you have chosen to participate in this phenomenal event featuring three nights of extraordinary champagnes, sake, world-class wines, award-winning cocktails and craft beers.

UNLVino® provides wine enthusiasts and winemakers the opportunity to sample the latest releases, the best vintages and the finest varietals from hundreds of wineries. This spectacular event has been a staple of the Southern Nevada social scene since its inception and continues to amaze participants as only a Las Vegas-based event can.

I would like to extend a special thanks to Larry Ruvo, senior managing director of Southern Wine & Spirits, for his steadfast commitment to the betterment of our community. UNLVino® is a distinctive event that has raised millions of dollars over the years for the advancement of higher education and is one of the many ways Mr. Ruvo gives back to Las Vegas.

Of course, please drink responsibly and be sure to enjoy yourself. I have no doubt that the 41st Annual UNLVino® Wine Tasting Event will be nothing short of magnificent!

From Wine Spectator Magazine I am delighted to welcome you to the 41st annual UNLVino® wine tasting and auction.

If you have participated before, you know you are in for a remarkable experience. If this is your first time, I guarantee that if you are a wine lover, you have come to the right place. With more than 100 suppliers pouring more than 1,000 wines, UNLVino® is one of America’s landmark wine events.

UNLVino® is much more than an exciting and educational gala.

The significant money raised by this event goes to support the students and activities at the William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. It is with great pleasure that Wine Spectator magazine joins with Southern Wine & Spirits of Nevada in the worthy cause of furthering the education of the future leaders in the hospitality industry.

You have our sincere appreciation for your support of this worthwhile event. Please take advantage of this special opportunity for you to meet representatives from many of the world’s finest wine, sake, spirits and craft beer producers, discuss their products and of course, taste their products.

The Talent Behind UNLVino®: Student Journeys and Dreams by ben brown las vegas food and beverage professional magazine the foodie community has been gunning to pop bottles, contract sake fever and taste all that is grand ever since UNLVino’s spectacular 40th anniversary last year. Year 41 is here, and a small army has made preparations for thousands of guests to sip for scholarship in 2015.

While you will see many friendly faces behind the booths and the bars, you won’t get to witness what goes on behind the scenes to put on this historic food and drink spectacle. UNLVino®, for those who don’t already know, is planned and executed largely by students at UNLV’s William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration. The experience certainly has its bumps along the way, but attracts a passionate group who aspire to take leisure, luxury and escape to the next level.

“I knew that I thoroughly enjoyed talking to people, helping them out and the idea of traveling…I realized that there was no other way I could go but hospitality,” said Alexandra Hurtado, a senior.

Hurtado is joined by Daniela and Mercedes Sanchez, whose high school experience inspired them to enter UNLV. “The summer before my freshman year, I was asked to go to an open house at Valley High School; home of the Academy of Hotel and Tourism (AOHT),” said Mercedes, a senior. “It was in those classrooms where I found my passion for hospitality.”

“I loved the idea of…attending one of the top hospitality colleges in a city thriving on hospitality!” said Daniela, a sophomore who also graduated from Valley’s AOHT program.

Daniela and Mercedes are both at UNLV on scholarship and serve on the executive board for the National Society of Minorities in Hospitality (NSMH).

“It was because of the scholarship that I decided to stay in Las Vegas for my undergraduate (degree),” Mercedes said.

This scholarship may very well lead her to stay in Sin City after graduation.

“My goal after graduation is to either land a direct placement role in a sales or catering department in Las Vegas,” she said. While she has an end goal in place, she’s making the most of her college career to build out her managerial skill set.

“My goal for after graduation is to make the college that gave me my ®

[ 12 ]

top education in hospitality proud,” said Hurtado, who is still refining her internship search.

The hospitality program is no stranger to the significance of work experience in this profession. Students must log 1,000 professional hours as part of the degree requirements.

Students have many resources to help them through this goal, however. UNLV’s prime location and experienced faculty are key assets that students won’t find in too many other programs.

“We are given many emails a day about open jobs, upcoming internships, hospitality-related volunteer events and more,” said Daniela. “They provide students with all the tools they need to finish an internship and the 1,000 work hours.”

“We are so fortunate to go to school where the hospitality playground is our backyard. A majority of my professors have or still work in the industry,” Mercedes said. “(They have) real life experiences to share with their students, and have connections throughout the Las Vegas Valley.”

Those connections and experiences aren’t limited to Las Vegas.

UNLV’s network spans the globe.

“Two summers ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to study abroad in Switzerland and take food and beverage courses with UNLV professors who have built long lasting relationships with various restaurants and wineries throughout Europe,” Mercedes said.

“That is one college experience that I will never forget.”

Mercedes’ experience has taken her on a domestic journey as well, allowing her to intern at the Aspen Meadows Resort Food and Beverage Department in Aspen, Colo. She has brought back a holistic experience to build on her pursuits back in Las Vegas. It’s this kind of exposure that has allowed Las Vegas itself to innovate on an unmatched level.

Daniela has also gotten to broaden her work horizons through UNLV’s connections.

“It was at one of the hotel career mixers that I was able to start a relationship with Starwood Hotels and Resorts,” she said. “I have had an externship and internship through them in food and beverage.”

UNLVino ® 2015

When asked about some of the more stressful aspects of the program, the girls reverted back to the job search, as well as a class that emulates reality (food) TV. “The most stressful and engaging class has been (Food Service Operations Fundamentals). In that class we learn different cutting, cooking and pairing techniques,” begins Daniela. “Our final exam is very similar to what my culinary competitions look like: you are given a mystery basket, you cook the food in a way that displays as many techniques as possible, plate it with all five elements and present it all within a certain amount of time.”

While students enjoy these “Chopped!” and “Iron Chef”-like missions, the tests are meant to equip them with skills for the real world, where work experience reigns supreme in recruiters’ eyes.

“The first day in my (Introduction to the Hospitality Industry) class I was told GPA did not matter. In the world of hospitality, it is your work experience that matters,” said Daniela. “The time commitment we have to make to work and school is more crucial in hospitality management than it is in any other major.”

She adds that the hospitality major itself is a difficult path. “Many non-hospitality students believe hospitality to be an extremely easy program, the easy way out,” Daniela begins. “We don’t have crazy imaginary numbers to deal with in math, but the competition is enough to make you feel like you will never measure up.”

Mercedes sees UNLVino® as monumental for helping put students into school as well as advancing student success post-commencement.

“UNLVino® plays a huge role in the Hotel College, as this is our biggest fundraiser,” she said. “It just goes to show how passionate we are about it and how important ticket sales and donations are.”

The students are crucial to putting on the event.

“Cooking the hors-d'oeuvres or passing (them) out, showcasing the various wines…figuring out all the logistics and acting as liaison between all the vendors,” Daniela said, commenting on some of the many moving parts behind the scenes.

“I am in the UNLVino® capstone class as a student manager,” said Hurtado. “I am on the Southern Wine & Spirits team helping with the

UNLVino ® 2015

UNLVino® was cofounded in 1974 by the William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration and Southern Wine & Spirits of Nevada, the two organizations that continue to sponsor it today. Over the past four decades, UNLVino® has raised several million dollars for scholarships and other academic developmental needs of UNLV students. UNLVino® is differentiated through unparalleled, hands-on student experiences at all levels of event planning, execution and promotion, as well as the impactful funds raised each year – all testaments to the celebratory weekend’s broader purpose – scholarship.

This year, the 41st annual UNLVino® will feature three days of events for wine, beer and spirit enthusiasts, April 16-18, 2015. Nevada’s original wine festival will showcase an array of international beverages and continue Southern Wine & Spirits of Nevada’s mission to raise millions of scholarship dollars for students of UNLV’s William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration. UNLVino® will also continue its tradition of recognizing hospitality industry leaders with the Dom Pérignon Award of Excellence. The 2015 honorees include culinary icon Daniel Boulud and the “Godfather of Italian-American cooking” Chef Steve Martorano, as well as UNLV’s Presidential Advisor for Strategic Initiatives, Don Snyder.

The event becomes mutually beneficial for students seeking jobs as well as professionals looking to recruit top talent.

“UNLVino® is a great chance for graduating seniors to network and to show off…the skills that we have been perfecting for the past four years,” Mercedes said.

UNLVino® began in 1974 as a small tasting event where a few wine lovers and winemakers met in the warehouse of Southern Wine & Spirits of Nevada. By the early 2000s, it had grown to more than 125 suppliers pouring more than 700 wines for nearly 9,000 guests at the Paris Las Vegas hotel-casino.

Today, UNLVino® is the largest single-day tasting event in the country and the largest fundraising effort for UNLV. UNLVino® grew as the university grew. Wine distributors became acquainted with UNLV’s Hotel College through its wine class. Among them was Southern Wine & Spirits of Nevada’s Senior Managing Director, Larry Ruvo.

Ruvo is the originator of UNLVino® and its chief sponsor.

Today, suppliers from all around the world — at Ruvo’s invitation — attend the event on their own time, paying for hotel rooms and airfare to support the cause. Southern Wine and Spirits of Nevada gathers and transports all of the wines and beverages to the event venues.

2015 Dom Pérignon Award of Excellence Honorees three outstanding community leaders

Daniel Boulud chef daniel boulud is chef-owner of several award-winning restaurants and the Feast & Fêtes catering company. While he hails from Lyon, France, it is in New York that he has truly mastered the dining scene and is today considered one of America’s leading culinary authorities. Raised on his family’s farm in the village of St Pierre de Chandieu, the chef remains inspired by the rhythm of the seasons and menus driven by fine ingredients. Since arriving in the US in 1982, Boulud has become renowned for the contemporary appeal he adds to soulful cooking rooted in French tradition.

Boulud’s New York City restaurants include his flagship Daniel, a Michelinstarred Relais & Châteaux member; the elegant Café Boulud with its adjacent Bar Pleiades; the more casual db Bistro Moderne; three adjacent Upper West Side locations including the charcuterie-centric Bar Boulud, a Mediterranean themed restaurant, Boulud Sud, and Épicerie Boulud, an eat-in and take-out market and café; DBGB Kitchen and Bar on the Bowery is chef’s relaxed downtown restaurant where the French brasserie meets the American Tavern.

Beyond Manhattan the chef has created Café Boulud in Palm Beach and db Bistro Moderne in downtown Miami. The chef has extended his culinary reach internationally with a db Bistro Moderne at Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands. Bar Boulud, his first restaurant in the United Kingdom opened in London’s Mandarin Oriental in May 2010. In 2012, two new partnerships were forged with legendary names in hospitality when Boulud and his restaurant management team opened a Café Boulud in Toronto’s Four Seasons hotel and a Maison Boulud in Montréal’s Ritz-Carlton. Additionally, Boulud returned to Las Vegas in partnership with the Venetian in Spring 2014. In September 2014 he opened a DBGB Kitchen and Bar in Washington D.C.’s CityCenterDC and a Bar Boulud in Boston’s Mandarin Oriental.

Boulud’s culinary accolades include James Beard Foundation awards for Outstanding Restaurant, Outstanding Restaurateur, Best Chef, New York City and Outstanding Chef of the Year. In addition, he has been named Chef of the Year by the Culinary Institute of America and Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur by the French government. Restaurant Daniel has been cited as “one of the ten best restaurants in the world” by the International Herald Tribune, has earned multiple Michelin stars and Wine Spectator’s Grand Award; Boulud is consistently ranked among Restaurant Magazine’s World’s 50 Best Restaurants.

The Chef’s culinary style is reflected in his eight cookbooks, including his most recent books “DANIEL: My French Cuisine” (Grand Central Publishing, 2013) and “My Best: Daniel Boulud” (Alain Ducasse Publishing, 2014).

Steve Martorano chef growing up in south philly, many would have thought steve Martorano didn’t stand much of a chance for more than going into the family business. With his father making only $166 a week and his uncle in the Mob, Martorano knew one thing – he didn’t want either of those lives for himself. But what was he to do? School was never his strong suit, so he set out on his own journey to success — but not without a few failures along the way that only made him stronger and more determined to show the world what he is made of.

After spinning records for a few years as a DJ in the ’70s, Martorano opened up his first delivery sandwich shop in his apartment. He was a one-man show with an increasingly popular business. His sandwiches became such a hit in South Philly that Martorano outgrew his space and opened a takeout restaurant in a strip mall. Here Martorano made pizza, sandwiches, pasta dishes and homemade water ice. A few years later, the demand outgrew his location again, and Martorano moved to a freestanding, sit-down restaurant.

In the early ’90s, the US economy took a turn for the worse and Martorano lost everything. He knew it was time for a change.

In 1993, he moved to Fort Lauderdale with merely $40 to his name and opened a new restaurant on Oakland Park Boulevard – Café Martorano. 18 years later, Café Martorano is a worldwide

UNLVino ® 2015

sensation. The restaurant chain has expanded into five locations – the original one on Oakland Park Boulevard, one at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Fla., at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, at Paris Hotel & Casino and at Harrah’s Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City. The Martorano brand has also launched a wine label, pasta sauces, a Yo Cuz! apparel line, jewelry line, a self-published book “Yo Cuz! My Life, My Food, My Way,” and his second book “It Ain’t Sauce, It’s Gravy… How Food Saved my Life” published by Knopf.

Martorano has raised the bar for the restaurant industry. The “Godfather of Italian-American cooking” has taken the craft of cooking to new levels through a dream, persistence and hard work. With his self-taught talent, Martorano has created a venue in which as owner he is the cook, the DJ and the operator. The Martorano restaurants offer a unique atmosphere that combines exceptional food with extraordinary music and movies. This rare environment has allowed Martorano to create an ambiance that attracts clientele ranging from locals to the sexy, hip crowd to some of entertainment’s hottest celebrities and has even been featured on television shows such as “The Real Housewives of Miami” and “Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best?” and “Jimmy Kimmel! Live,” to name a few.

Donald Snyder unlv presidential advisor for strategic initiatives donald snyder has deep ties to the university and southern Nevada. An executive with senior leadership experience in both the commercial banking and gaming industries, Snyder is the immediate past president of UNLV and now serves as the presidential advisor for strategic initiatives.

Snyder has been involved with UNLV for more than 25 years as a volunteer or administrator. Prior to his term as acting UNLV president, he served as dean of the UNLV Harrah Hotel College and as the university’s executive dean for strategic development.

Snyder remains involved in major strategic efforts for the university and the Hotel College, for which he helped gain legislative and gubernatorial support during the 2013 legislative session. This includes assisting college fundraising efforts for a proposed academic building and strengthening the UNLV’s role as the intellectual capital of global gaming, which is directly tied to the state economic development plan.

He’s been a leader in UNLV’s push to create a school of medicine, and he led the planning efforts for a proposed on-campus stadium as chairman of the legislatively created UNLV Campus Improvement Authority Board.

A prolific fundraiser, Snyder played an integral role as chairman of the Smith Center for the Performing Arts. He is also a former member and chairman of the UNLV Foundation and co-chairman of the university’s successful $537 million Invent the Future capital campaign, which concluded in 2009. Snyder has served on the boards of more than 15 public and private companies, numerous local nonprofits and several legislative commissions, including chairing the Governor’s Commission on Medical Education, Research & Training in 2006.

Snyder has been formally recognized on many occasions for outstanding community service, most recently as the 2013 Philanthropist of the Year

by Gov. Brian Sandoval.

Following his graduation from college in 1969, Snyder began a successful banking career, continuing involvement with the industry today. During 22 years with First Interstate Bank (now Wells Fargo), he rose from a management trainee in California to serve as chairman of the board and CEO of First Interstate Bank of Nevada from 1987 to 1991. He held leadership positions in retail and corporate banking, international banking, real estate banking and served on the board of directors of several First Interstate subsidiaries during his later years with First Interstate.

[ 18 ]

UNLVino ® 2015

Subsequent to leaving First Interstate Bank, Snyder co-founded Bank of Nevada (originally called BankWest of Nevada). From its initial $8 million in assets, the bank has grown into a multi-state banking organization, with the parent holding company, Western Alliance Bancorporation, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, with assets now of nearly $9 billion. While never serving in a management capacity, he has been an active member of the board of directors for both Bank of Nevada (where he has served as chairman for many years) and Western Alliance Bancorporation.

Snyder’s move to the gaming industry started in 1992 when asked by downtown Las Vegas casino owners to lead the efforts to develop what became the Fremont Street Experience. He served as chairman, president and CEO until July 1996 and continued as non-executive chairman of the board until 2006.

Following the successful opening and initial operation of the Fremont Street Experience, Snyder joined Boyd Gaming Corp. in 1996.

He became a member of Boyd Gaming’s board of directors in April 1996, executive vice president three months later and president in January 1997 – a position he held until his retirement in 2005.

His retirement from Boyd Gaming was planned to coincide with efforts to move forward with the funding and development of what became the Smith Center for the Performing Arts. Having been involved in the earliest efforts (starting in 1994) to develop a worldclass performing arts center, Snyder became chairman of the board in 1999; a position he continues to hold. While always serving in a nonpaid capacity, he effectively teamed with Myron Martin (who become president and CEO during construction) to provide the leadership that made the center a reality.

Years before becoming an employee of UNLV, Snyder had a long history of active volunteer engagement with the university. He became a member of the board of trustees for the UNLV Foundation in 1988, served five years as chairman of its board and served as chairman of the first and only comprehensive capital campaign.

For his work supporting UNLV, Snyder was awarded the President’s Medal in 2000, an Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree in 2001 and was named (by the NSHE Board of Regents) a Distinguished Nevadan in 2003.

For his leadership in the business community he was inducted into the

For his work supporting UNLV, Snyder was awarded the President’s Medal in 2000, an Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree in 2001, and was named … a Distinguished Nevadan in 2003.

For his leadership in the business community, he was inducted into the Nevada Business Hall of Fame … in 2011.

Nevada Business Hall of Fame by UNLV’s Lee Business School in 2011. In recognition of their significant philanthropic gifts to UNLV, Snyder and his wife Dee were inducted into UNLV’s Palladium Society in 2009.

Snyder has been actively involved in numerous other businesses, charitable and civic activities in Nevada over his more than 25 years in Southern Nevada. In recent years, he has served on boards for Bank of Nevada and its parent, Western Alliance Bancorporation; NV Energy; Tutor Perini Corporation; and Switch Communications Group LLC. Additionally, Snyder has served on numerous nonprofit boards over his time in Nevada. He presently serves on the boards of the Smith Center (chairman), Nathan Adelson Hospice (past chairman) and the Governor’s Workforce Development Board. His past board service includes the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority, Nevada Resort Association, American Gaming Association, United Way of Southern Nevada (past chairman and two-time chairman of the annual fundraising campaign), Nevada Development Authority (past chairman), Council for a Better Nevada (past chairman) and Tournament Players Club at Summerlin.

Snyder is a cum laude graduate of the University of Wyoming (1969), with a bachelor of science degree in business administration. Snyder and his wife, Dee, have been married for more than 42 years, have three grown children and three grandchildren.

Mark Sandoval executive chef mark sandoval joined the m resort as executive chef in June 2012. His passion for working with farm-to-table ingredients and experience working under mentors like Master Chef Joel Robuchon and Wolfgang Puck positioned him as the perfect addition to the Forbes Four-Star award-winning resort.

Sandoval was introduced to the culinary arts at a young age when he and his father, a restaurant cook, would prepare dinners for their family three to four times a week. Sandoval loved the reaction his culinary creations received and spent his adolescent years cooking for friends and family as often as he could. In 1995, he moved to San Francisco to attend the California Culinary Academy. His first restaurant position came at Moose’s, a North Beach favorite where Sandoval learned to prepare seasonal American cuisine with local, small-farm ingredients; a passion that would develop Sandoval’s cooking style. After 2 1/2 years, Sandoval left to help open Jianna restaurant, then worked as sous chef and banquet chef at the awardwinning Carneros, located at the Lodge at Sonoma. There, Sandoval raised his own herbs and vegetables for the daily changing menu and eventually was promoted to executive sous chef.

After three years, one of Carneros’ frequent guests, Steve Ledson, owner of Ledson wines approached Sandoval with an opportunity to open a restaurant on the plaza in Sonoma called the Harmony Club. The restaurant provided Sandoval with his first executive chef position and the chance to continue cooking with farm-fresh ingredients.

[ 20 ]

In 2005, Sandoval was hired to work as sous chef and saucier with his biggest inspiration, Master Chef Joel Robuchon, who was opening his first restaurant in the United States at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. After one year, he transferred into the MGM Grand Culinary Department where he worked closely with the resort’s high-profile clientele as he cooked for private parties and VIP guests.

Sandoval joined the Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group in 2007 as sous chef at Postrio, the Las Vegas location of Puck’s famed San Francisco eatery where he was soon promoted to executive chef. At Postrio, Sandoval was responsible for changing the entire menu to reflect the flavor of the Mediterranean while staying true to the fresh, seasonality of American ingredients. Throughout his nearly six-year tenure, Sandoval continued to push the envelope, seeking out new, unique ingredients to update his menus for both the casual café and more formal dining room.

In 2012, Sandoval found his home at M Resort, where he was later appointed to oversee the resort’s newest restaurant, the grand prize venue of Food Network’s “Restaurant Express,” Jayde Fuzion, as well as Anthony’s Gourmet Burgers and Brews.

When he’s not in the kitchen, Chef Sandoval is also a UNLV professor, where he enjoys sharing his applied knowledge and experience with his students. He also teaches the culinary portion of UNLVino®, a charity event that raises funds for student scholarships at UNLV’s school of hotel management, which he finds extremely rewarding.

Romero Britto cover artist romero britto was born in recife, brazil, and nearly 26 years ago moved to Miami where he started creating and selling his works on the streets of Coconut Grove, a historic neighborhood in Miami.

While in Coconut Grove, he painted on newspaper and often used his fingers to replace paintbrushes.

Since then, Britto has developed his artistic visual language to include 3-D sculpture, mixed media, serigraphs and digital prints.

His work has evolved over the years, but the message of happiness remains. Since then, he has collaborated with companies such as Disney, Coca-Cola and Mattel.

Currently, he is represented in more than 100 galleries worldwide. Last year he served as the 2014 FIFA World Cup ambassador. His public works include exhibits in places such as Sao Paolo, Beijing, Tel Aviv, Berlin, Moscow, New York and London’s Hyde Park.

Britto’s mission is to share happiness with the world as well as give back through his philanthropic efforts. Britto has supported thousands of global charities during this career and the UNLVino® event is an event he is passionate and excited to participate in year after year.

“I look forward to it every year! I commend Larry Ruvo and Jerry Valen on their admirable work and the funds they raise for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas,” Britto has said.

Britto finds inspiration in the simple things in life; he finds happiness and joy in everything he experiences, from a simple sunset to a loving couple. The words happiness and love are synonymous with his works.

Many would consider his work pop art. Other pop artists include Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Roy Lichtenstein. Britto admires the work of Picasso, Matisse, Warhol and Haring. Yet he’s also inspired by other artists such as Pollock, Leger, Dali and DaVinci.

Britto is first and foremost an artist, a creative being.

Britto’s flagship gallery, Britto Central, has been on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach for 21 years. Britto has five concept stores – three onboard Royal Caribbean ships and two at the Miami International Airport. Britto’s work has been displayed on every continent.

[ 22 ]

Career Highlights:

In 1989, Absolut Vodka commissioned Britto to be part of the now-famous Absolut Vodka campaign. He was the first unknown artist at the time to be part of such a prestigious group, which included Warhol and Haring. This was the single most important collaboration of Britto’s career.

As a child, Britto was dazzled by the beauty he found in Disney animated films. In October 1997, Britto’s childhood aspirations came true when he was invited to attend the Walt Disney Art Classics Preferred Gallery Forum at Disneyland to unveil his newest Disney-inspired serigraph, “Mickey Mouse’s Greatest Love.” Currently, Britto is among a select group of established and emerging artists chosen by Disney to create inspired, artistic visions of their famous characters and properties. With his bright and cheerful interpretations, Britto’s Disney-inspired serigraphs are a perfect fit for the Walt Disney Art Classics Fine Art Program. The Disney Britto Collection of licensed products captures the fun and whimsy of Disney in bold and colorful designs as Britto has created inspired and artistic interpretations of the famous characters and properties.

Britto is credited with the largest contemporary public art installation in Hyde Park history. The Britto pyramids celebrated the return of King Tut’s exhibit to England. This event also included Britto’s largest children’s paint party with over 2000 children.

RLA is Keeping Las Vegas Safe for Fine Wine rare liquid assets in a pivotal scene from the cinematic masterpiece, offense to our glowstick-twirling, DJ-loving dayclub patrons, but “Office Space,” one of the “Bobs” (a duo of like-named gents tasked with eliminating redundant positions at a top-heavy software company) asks the perennial question: “What would you say you do here?”

We get the same question a lot with regards to the newest fine wine division, Rare Liquid Assets (RLA). Consider this: there are more sommeliers per capita in Las Vegas than anywhere else in the world. What’s a sommelier? It’s the French term for a steward in charge of wine. For hundreds of years, sommeliers were responsible for the cellaring and serving of wines for royalty.

Eventually the tradition of the sommelier spread to restaurants, where such an individual is expected to have extensive knowledge of wines and their suitability with various dishes.

Arguably the highest honor one can achieve in the wine world (and only after years of training and a test so hard it has its own movie) is the title of master sommelier and — get this — there are twice as many master sommeliers in Las Vegas as there are in New York City. We have 12! That’s out of only 140 in North America. Yep, 9 percent of them work in Vegas and two of them work for SWS, including Ira Harmon, who got his pin in 1993 (only the 23rd in the US) and is unquestionably the Yoda of master somms. No

[ 26 ]

let’s face it, Vegas is a fine wine town. If you are selling wine in a fine wine town you need a highly skilled, highly specialized fine wine team. That’s where RLA comes in.

Rare Liquid Assets, led by Kristi Smith, is positioned in the market as the “emerging brands” division. (Smith is pictured above, flanked by Territory Managers Leann Kruger and Erin Cooper.)

With a carefully assembled portfolio of high-end, highly soughtafter future cult wines and craft spirits, RLA sales reps hit the street with wine bags full of "the next big thing." The "SEAL Team Six" of the Fine Wine Division, RLA can gain new placements at will with their somm-friendly repertoire.

This is a boutique wine distributor with big book resources and the “little guy” that all the other “little guys” wish they could be. RLA has a straightforward objective — grow market share and create the perfect home for hot, upcoming brands. In a nutshell, they’ve got their eyes on the specialized, versatile, flexible and dominant brands in this highly competitive and very wine savvy market. No, they don’t sell truckloads, or even pallets … they sell bottles. But trust me, at the end of the day they are the bottles our customers want on their lists and you want on your dinner table.

Educating Southern Nevada

About Wine by bob barnes las vegas food and beverage professional magazine

aster Sommelier Joe Phillips has been serving wine and educating his customers and staff at some of the finest dining establishments in Las Vegas since the 1990s. Now in his position as director of wine education for Southern Wine and Spirits of Nevada, he is able to share his expertise and love of wine with all sectors of the community. Formerly a middle school music teacher, Phillips’ passion for breaking down complex subjects, such as wine, to help others learn makes him well suited to his new role. Voted Best Sommelier of Las Vegas in 2012 by Las Vegas Weekly, Phillips is a known personality in Sin City. We were honored to sit down with him to learn about his path in attaining the highest level of sommelier certification and in becoming one of Las Vegas’s most respected and admired experts in the wine industry.

UNLVino ® 2015

Where were you born and where did you grow up?

I was born in Syracuse, New York, and when I was 4, moved to Mansfield, Mass., where I grew up.

When and how did you first get into nurturing your love for wine?

We were visiting my grandparents in Florida one summer when I was about 18 or so. My dad brought back some hard cheeses, cured meats and half a bottle of Valpolicella. First, I was excited to sit down at the table with my dad and have a little wine. Second, tasting the food and the wine together was something I never experienced before. I was intrigued at how the wine and food complemented one another. A couple of years later I worked at a small hotel in Taunton, Mass. Our restaurant manager was very passionate about wine and used to have people come to the hotel to teach us about wine. I went to a presentation about how sparkling wine is made in Champagne and how a similar technique is used for Cava in Spain. I found the presentation fascinating and it was an important lesson about the relationship between production quality and prestige.

How did you transition from being a music teacher to a master sommelier?

I moved to Las Vegas in the late ’90s to try and secure a job as a middle school band director, as word of the rapid expansion of the Clark County school system and need for teachers had reached us back east. While waiting to be licensed in Nevada, I took a job as a waiter in an Italian restaurant at the MGM Grand. We had a talented chef from Sardinia and a progressive Italian wine list for the time. I remember a sales person from Southern Wine and Spirits coming out to do wine training for us, and once again, the exposure to great food and great wine really piqued my interest. I could see that there was a lot of potential for growth for me in the restaurant business and started to study wine to improve my skills and provide future opportunities. I didn’t realize what I was getting into, which is probably a good thing. Had I known what becoming a master sommelier would entail, I might never have attempted it.

How is being a sommelier similar to being a teacher?

On many levels, we’re doing the same thing. One of our jobs is to introduce people to new concepts, so just like a teacher, we’re there to be a guide, inform about the wines on the list, and help them to choose wines to go with their food and educate the staff to do the same. Teaching may be the most important job of the sommelier.

UNLVino ® 2015

Southern Wine and Spirits of Nevada Director of Wine Education Master Sommelier Joe Phillips You were part of the opening team for the Bellagio and became a master sommelier during your tenure there. Can you tell us about being at Bellagio during such an exciting time?

Being a part of the opening of the Bellagio is something I’ll always remember. At the time there was nothing like it on the Strip. We had the best chefs in the country all under one roof. In terms of helping me prepare to become a master sommelier, I learned the craft of being a sommelier while at Bellagio. I trained under three master sommeliers and took advantage of the wine training courses that Bellagio offered, including the Bellagio Wine Academy, an intense 12week class. I was also exposed to the best wine in the world, which gave me an advantage because on a nightly basis I was serving very rare wines, small production wines and having the chance to taste them, while working in one of the top resorts in the world gave me a skill set that was essential in order to pass the master sommelier exam.

What is involved in achieving a master sommelier certification?

What did you do to prepare and how long was your journey?

The certification is a diploma that’s given out by a trade organization called the Court of Master Sommeliers, which was founded in 1977 ….

There are four levels: Introductory Course, Certified Sommelier Exam, Advanced Sommelier Course & Exam and Master Sommelier Diploma Exam. You are tested on all aspects of wine as well as sake, spirits, cocktails and beer, because to function in the hospitality industry you need to be a

Course from the court because it is a survey course and does not involve a test on service or tasting. The higher level courses from the court involve tests on tasting and service skills.

What makes a good sommelier? Are there personality traits that make one type of person better suited to this profession?

To be a good sommelier you need to be a good listener and quickly understand what the guest is asking about, rather than trying to impose or dictate what they should be drinking. The goal is to create a positive and memorable guest experience. Also important are tableside presence, being able to make friends and gain trust. These abilities quickly put the guests at ease and promote an enjoyable dining experience. Not everyone is able to do that.

What is your advice to consumers of wine on making their selections or on deciding which wines are best suited to their tastes?

well-rounded beverage professional. The first two levels are achievable by anyone who’s been in the business for years but to become a master involves an enormous amount of studying. I made thousands of flash cards to study, but in addition to product knowledge you are also tested on tableside presence and knowledge of products, regions and vintages to recommend wine, which you can only gain by several years of experience working in the restaurant business. I took the introductory course in 2001, passed the advanced sommelier exam in 2004 and became a master sommelier in 2008 (at that time there were only three levels).

You are an active examiner and educator for the Court of Master Sommeliers. What’s involved with that? Does this involve much travel?

After you pass the master sommelier exam you are encouraged to train the next generation of sommeliers and pass on your knowledge. I am conducting two weekly tasting classes at Southern Wine and Spirits to help sommeliers and servers improve their wine knowledge. The court administers about 30 intro exams during the year, as many certified exams and two to three advanced and master exams. It can require over 20 master sommeliers to administer these exams, especially at the advanced and master level. The exams take place all over the country, with a few in Canada and South America.

You’re also a certified sake specialist. How is this title similar to a sommelier and how does it differ?

In some ways it’s similar because John Gauntner has been promoting sake in the US to increase awareness, appreciation and the level of sake service similar to what the Court of Sommeliers does for wine and spirits. He takes you through the world of sake in a three-day course, after which you take the test and get your certification. It is most similar to the Introductory

UNLVino ® 2015

It all comes back to core principles of understanding wine. If you become aware of the basic structure of wine, identify the components, the amount of sugar, acid, tannin and alcohol in the wine, you can learn to pay attention to those things and realize which ones you like more or less of. You will have a better chance of choosing a wine you will like.

Your current position is director of wine education for Southern Wine and Spirits of Nevada. What are your responsibilities in that role and how do you use your expertise in that capacity?

My role is to create programs for three target audiences: our internal employees, training our sales team, office and warehouse teams to give them a better product knowledge of what we carry and to foster promotion from within; members of our trade—sommeliers, shop owners, restaurant managers and servers, helping them understand the many different wines and products we offer, which benefits them by helping them to sell more wine and in turn they will buy more diverse products; interacting with the general public by doing outside promotional events, such as Splendor in the Glass and UNLVino®, events that promote our expertise.

How do you advise people on pairing food with wine? Any hard set rules to follow on that?

Release the fear. If you pair a wrong wine with your food it’s not the end of the world. So just relax. The best way to get a better understanding of how to pair wine with food is by paying attention to what you’re drinking and how it’s reacting to what you’re eating. Think about the elements of a wine—its acid, tannin, alcohol and sugar content—and how they react to the food you’re eating. Eventually you’ll get a feel for it, but it takes time and won’t happen overnight. The key is paying attention and that is the path to getting better at it.

wine defined imagine smelling fresh rain on the concrete, or waking up in the morning to the aroma of sizzling bacon. Imagine sitting at a table with a glass of wine. There are no labels, no accolades and no suggestions. Describe what the wine smells like.

Ann Noble and her colleagues at University of California, Davis developed the Aroma Wheel in the early 1980s to help solve this challenge. Everyone is capable of recognizing more than 1,000 smells. Matching words to these smells is a deceptively difficult task. The Aroma Wheel helps set up the mind as a filing cabinet. The wheel begins with basic

[ 34 ]

categorizations, such as Fruity, Floral and Chemical. It then expands to a secondary level of qualification, such as Berry (Fruity) and Sulfur (Chemical). The final, tertiary level of the wheel lists 87 very specific aromas, all of which can be discovered in wine, including Geranium (Floral), Cabbage (Sulfur) and Black Currant (Berry).

The Aroma Wheel is effective but not complete. Since a person’s olfactory repertoire is based on memory, these terms are not designed to be subjective. It is a tool for understanding a myriad of aromas and for helping identify and describe them in wine.

Today the company is led by Donny Sebastiani, great–grandson of Samuele the Sebastiani patriarch. “The plan is to continue the progress that previous generations in my family have made,” says Donny. “I want to have a similar impact on the wine industry. We are focusing on appellation-driven wines that appeal to a more wine-savvy audience. These wines, which include B Side, Aquinas and Project Paso, are sourced from specific wine-growing regions such as Napa Valley, Sonoma Coast and Paso Robles. At the end of the day, I’ve learned that the best thing a winery can offer is well-made wines of consistent quality. That’s our family tradition and that continues to be our vision for Don & Sons.”

Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Ste. Michelle Wine Estates

In 1973 Joe Phelps bought a 600-acre cattle ranch in Spring Valley and began planting vineyards. His winery was completed in 1974 and the first Insignia blend was produced. It put Joe Phelps on the map of top Napa Valley wine producers. Over the years, the goal of becoming 100% estate grown resulted in carefully planned acquisitions of prime vineyards in the Napa Valley. Today, the Phelps estate consists of 7 prime vineyard locations in 6 different AVA’s in Napa. Through the years, Joe searched for the ideal spot to grow both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and his search ended when the perfect location was found in Freestone, located on the Sonoma Coast. Today, 80 acres of Pinot Noir and 20 acres of Chardonnay produce estate-grown wines bearing the Joseph Phelps name.

Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, located outside of Seattle, Washington has a long and distinguished history that dates back to 1934. Wines under the Ste. Michelle label were first introduced in 1967 and since that time the company has expanded its vineyard holdings to more than 3,700 acres in Washington and California. Today the Washington portfolio includes Chateau Ste. Michelle, Columbia Crest, Northstar, Spring Valley Vineyards, Col Solare, Domaine Ste. Michelle, Red Diamond, Snoqualmie and 14 Hands. The company also owns Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars (with Italy’s Antinori family), Conn Creek and Villa Mt. Eden in the Napa Valley of California, and Erath in Dundee, Oregon. In 2006, Ste. Michelle Wine Estates became the exclusive U.S. importer for the acclaimed Antinori wine company of Italy and Chile’s Haras wines, for Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte of France in 2009 and for New Zealand’s Villa Maria Estate in 2010. www.smwe.com

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery The story of Dogfish Head began in June of 1995 when we opened Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats, the state’s first brewpub opened in the resort beach community of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The plan was to bring original beer, original food and original music to the area. Not only was Dogfish Head Delaware’s first brewpub, it was the smallest commercial brewery in America. Our very first batch, Shelter Pale Ale, was brewed on a system which essentially was three little kegs with propane burners underneath. Brewing 12-gallon batches of beer for a whole restaurant proved to be more than a full time job.

When the doors to the pub first opened, we brewed three times a day, five days a week! The one benefit to brewing on such a small system was the ability to try out a myriad of different recipes. We quickly got bored brewing the same things over and over – that’s when we started adding all sorts of weird ingredients and getting kind of crazy with the beers! – If you haven’t had the chance to taste Dogfish Head, find a beer, track down one of our spirits or visit one of our restaurants! You will see why international beer writer Michael Jackson called Dogfish Head “America’s most interesting and adventurous small brewery.”

Our farm-to-bottle vodkas are harvested in the fields around us, and made from the purest single ingredients. You can taste the difference in the character of our vodka, seasonally distilled in small batches using traditional methods unchanged since 1896.

With the beginning of our next fifty years as California winemakers, our 5th generation family of vintners is releasing our first meritage, an elegant red wine from the 2012 Napa Valley harvest.

Pizza Port

Back in March 1987, Gina and Vince Marsaglia, a pair of siblings in their 20’s, bought a struggling pizza place in the sleepy coastal town of Solana Beach, just north of San Diego. Vince took advantage of free space in the restaurant’s storage area to dabble with home brewing. The hobby took off and he was eventually brewing more than could reasonably be consumed at home. So at the urging of friends and fans, Vince and Gina decided to go into the brewpub business. Pizza Port offered its first craft-brewed beers to patrons in 1992.

Duvel Moortgat

It all began when Jan-Leonard Moortgat and his wife founded the Moortgat brewery farm in 1871. Around the turn of the century, Moortgat was one of the over 3,000 breweries operating in Belgium.

Jan-Leonard experimented by trial and error, and his top-fermented beers were soon greatly appreciated in the brewery’s home town of Puurs and far beyond. Before long, the Brussels bourgeoisie was also won over by his beers. In 1923 the production of Duvel began with just a few crates. Today, Duvel is enjoyed literally all around the world (in over 60 countries) by countless beer lovers. The beer is still brewed with profound respect for the original recipe and the time it needs to mature.

In 1989 two visionaries, Paul Mitchell Systems co-founder John Paul DeJoria, and entrepreneur Martin Crowley formed The Patrón Spirits Company with the singular goal of producing “the best tequila in the world.” They took the 100% pure Weber blue agave, grown in the hills of Jalisco Mexico, and blended traditional techniques with modern technology. They created the world’s first ultra-premium tequila. Under the stewardship of DeJoria and CEO Ed Brown, a new distilling and bottling factory was built in Jalisco. With the guidance of the renowned master distiller Francisco Alcaraz, the new factory (the Hacienda del Patrón) was designed to be state-of-the-art with a core steeped in tradition. Patrón Tequila is today the world’s number one ultra-premium tequila, available in more than 140 countries across the globe.
