Meet Your Sommelier
Every pairing on Oenvy is reviewed by a real, certified sommelier.

Morgan Dannels
Head Sommelier & Pairing Director
Ask Morgan how he got into wine and you won't hear the usual story about a transformative bottle in Burgundy. You'll hear about the floor of the Emmy's Governors Ball — pouring for a room full of people who could order anything in the world and still wanted someone to tell them what was good.
That's the instinct Morgan has spent a career sharpening. After working high-profile events with Patina Catering in Los Angeles, Morgan earned Level 2 Sommelier certification and spent years as a Wine Specialist at one of Colorado's largest retailers, Bubbles Liquor World. He has even poured at events for Wine Spectator, and recently poured for the owner of Silver Oak at a local tasting event. Today Morgan operates the wine program at Cloud Wine Bar — leading staff training, hosting tastings, and building a room where nobody feels like they have to pretend.
At Oenvy, your sommelier reviews every pairing before it earns the “Certified Sommelier Approved” badge. Crafting the “what to say” scripts, tweaking the recommendations, and ensuring every suggestion is something he would stand behind at his own dinner table.
