JOHN OXNER- SOMMELIER
Name sound familiar? That's right, our beloved "Coach Ox" is a multi-talented gentleman! A nineteen year veteran of the adult beverage industry, most recently the Constellation brands, he is well versed in all aspects of food and wine pairing. (That is after all, the definition of sommelier).
When not educating customers on the finer points of food and wine, John dedicates his free time to coaching the young men at Lake Shore on the baseball field. He is known for his patience, kindness and work with the pitchers and catchers on the team. His volunteerism and big-heart are a shining example to the young men, as well as the skill he teaches.
