WINES

Wine pairings for each course will be selected by Randy Williams, owner of Red or White. Randy Williams started in the wine business by helping the wine manager of the incredibly busy Broadway restaurant in Seattle putting away orders. Randy was paid with good bottles of wine and interesting facts about them. Thinking this was more interesting than his job offers in finance, he joined Kobrand Corporation, a prestigious New York Importer. He spent ten years there and other shorter periods with Chateau Estates, Sonoma Cutrer, and finally Chalone, running the eastern part of the country and national accounts. These jobs gave Randy the opportunity to taste and consume, as he says, way too much great wine and explore many of the world’s best wine regions. He opened Red or White Fairhope with wife Sherri 7 years ago, and the Mobile location 3 years ago, and both enjoy working with their many customers from all over the South.
