Marc Lazar
As Domaine’s founder, I’m honored to work alongside some of the best minds in the wine industry.

I bring this range of experience, expertise and passion for wine into every new project I conduct in a client’s home.
Joe Quigle

Aaron Cherny
From my past experiences starting my own wine label to advising wine businesses throughout California, I learned to appreciate wine from the way its vines are cultivated through the crafting in the winemaking process and finally to the client’s cellar. Each day, I enjoy coming up with a perfect customized solution to each of our client’s wine requests within Domaine’s state of the art environment.
Matthew De Grazia
