“I had all these questions that I asked the guys I worked with at the store. They were super knowledgeable and taught me about how to taste whiskey. That intrigued me to learn more and soon I was learning about a vast industry and the science and art and passion behind it. Eventually, my father started a liquor store, and while I was finally working in IT, I worked for him also. We really enjoyed the business, so we opened up another liquor store, Modern Liquors, in Washington, D.C.”“It did.
“You have to understand this: I couldn’t believe this was happening to me. I was a guy working an $8-an-hour job in IT. and also in a liquor store—getting to pick a barrel and talking to the CEO of MGP in his office!
