DAVID SOTO

David’s first job in the beverage/hospitality industry was as a wine buyer in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the early ’90s. In his time in the industry, David has worked primarily in the retail sector at places like Sam’s Wine and Spirits and Binny’s Beverage Depot. His passion for the industry is derived from the rich history of each spirit. For over 10 years, David has served as a panelist with BTI, and when he tastes he looks for a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end.
