Chris Shipp is the Wine Manager for the new Flagship store of Goody Goody Fine Wine & Spirits in Little Elm TX. He began his wine career in 1999 by chance and has since refined his knowledge and expertise in the industry. Chris has worked both the retail and sales sides of the business so he has a well-rounded base to work from.
Wine has intrigued Chris from the start, every vintage, country and region in the world is a new experience and is ever-changing. Chris has traveled to Spain, Chile and Argentina to learn about the wine-making process in the field, from the vineyard managers all the way up to the winemakers.
Chris plans to take wine courses to gain credentials within the industry. He recently judged the 2009 Dallas Morning News Wine Competition and is thrilled to be involved in the Lone Star International Wine Competition. |
