Wine Pairings with Lee Pancake

We are so excited to have Lee Pancake join us on the show today. Lee is the General Manager at Tim's Wine Market and he also teaches wine courses at Slate Wine & Spirits Academy. We love to host fun and educational events for our clients, so we thought it would be fun to invite him to the show this week to help us learn a little more about wine pairings and tastings. 
 
About Lee:
Lee got his start in the wine industry in 2011 as a stock clerk at his uncle’s locally-owned wine market in Orlando. At the time, he was still attending UCF for business management and entrepreneurship while trying to figure out what he wanted to do after university. As time passed, Lee was bitten hard by the “wine bug” and developed an insatiable thirst for wine knowledge. Through books provided to him by his uncle, Lee developed an impressive base of knowledge on the subject.
In 2017 Lee began his journey through the WSET after meeting local Master of Wine, Jean Reilly. He quickly rose through the ranks under her guidance and later that year began teaching under Jean, fulfilling his dream of educating others on the subject he had become so passionate about. After four years of honing his skills in front of a classroom, Lee became the Director of Education and Owner of Slate Wine & Spirits Academy making him one of the youngest individuals ever to become an Approved Program Provider and Nominated Educator for WSET.
Lee divides his time between working with his uncle in their family-owned wine market and teaching WSET courses through Slate Wine & Spirits Academy. When he’s not teaching, Lee produces music and spends time hiking the globe with his beautiful wife, Madison.
