David LeClaire creates and presents a wide variety of exclusive events for small wine and food groups in private homes and restaurants, wine tastings for corporations, including conference receptions, product launches, client appreciation events, as well as fundraisers, art openings, holiday parties, etc. He is also the founder of the "Best of the West," a series of wine events throughout the U.S. which feature selections from amongst the best wineries of California, Washington, & Oregon. David is a certified sommelier from the Court of Master Sommeliers who served as wine director at Seattle's prestigious Alexis Hotel & Library Bistro (formerly the Painted Table Restaurant) where he was employed for ten years. Mr. LeClaire is an instructor at North Seattle Community College and often serves as an "ambassador" for Washington wineries. David is also a free-lance writer for NW Stir & Scopes Magazines. Those who attend his memorable events inevitably leave with valuable "real world" information and an increased appreciation for wine and wine making.
