Ryan Vet
Melier Tastemaker since 2025
Durham, NC
As an entrepreneur and investor, I've worked to create extraordinary experiences that blend precision with passion. My background includes leading, advising, and investing in venture-backed startups, but my deep love for wine has led me down an additional path. After earning certifications from the Court of Master Sommeliers and the Wine & Spirit Education Trust, I've had the privilege of collaborating with respected wine brands like Bichot Family Wines, Louis Jadot, and Far Niente.
While I deeply respect the global pioneers who have shaped the wine industry, my heart lies in working with entrepreneurial winemakers and discovering hidden gems—talented artisans who craft exceptional wines that you won't typically find on store shelves.
