WEYGANDT-METZLER IMPORTING
OUR SALES TEAM
Brendan Root
Manhattan, Brooklyn, LI Sales
Brendan Root was intrigued by wine from an early age through exposure at his parent's dinner parties but it wasn't until he began working in the service industry where his passion really took off. After studying under some of New York City's top wine directors he decided it was time to take his love of grape juice to the streets with Weygandt Selections. When he's not drinking wine Brendan can be found on the ski slopes, hanging with his rescue kitten, and strumming his guitar.
