About StephenUncorked: https://stephenuncorked.wine

At StephenUncorked, I help individuals and organizations use wine to create lasting connections and memorable experiences. I specialize in hosting in-person and virtual wine tastings designed for client appreciation, employee engagement, team-building offsites, fundraising events, private celebrations, and casual gatherings. Every tasting is customized, interactive, and approachable—whether it’s in a corporate boardroom, a private home, or online with a distributed team. I also partner with businesses to create custom-label and etched wine gifts that truly stand out. Popular for closing gifts, holiday client appreciation, conference giveaways, or major milestones, these bottles carry your logo, photo, or message. As one client described it, this is “corporate swag on steroids,” making it a favorite among real estate agents, wealth managers, consultants, and sales leaders looking to deepen relationships. For teams wanting something especially engaging, StephenUncorked offers the “Winemaker-for-a-Day” experience. Participants craft their own Bordeaux-style blend, design a custom label, and bottle it to their specs. It’s creative, collaborative, and an exceptional team-building activity. My wine selection emphasizes small-lot, sustainably farmed, often organic or biodynamic producers, mainly from France and California—wines not typically found in stores. For those wanting a more personal journey, I also offer a customizable quarterly Wine Society subscription, making it easy to explore new wines while enjoying meaningful savings. In short, StephenUncorked turns wine from something you drink into something you do—a way to build trust, show appreciation, and celebrate what matters. Let’s talk about how wine can help you create your next unforgettable experience.
