A "Nichols Worth of Wine" continues the three
decades long journey in the world of wine for its
founder, Bruce Nichols. First introduced to the
hospitality industry as a teenager in a summer job,
Bruce worked in restaurants and hotels through high
school and college before locating to Sausalito,
California, which led to increasing ties in the then
developing Napa and Sonoma wine scene. In the
1980?s, as Director of Restaurants for Sheraton
Hotels, Bruce held the position of Wine Buyer,
conducting wine education programs, hosting winery
owners and winemakers, and working with syndicated
wine writers.
Expanded roles opening new food and beverage
operations for major hotel chains across the country,
is when Bruce first launched "A Nichols Worth of
Wine," his eponymous wine publication dedicated to making wine educational and
entertaining for the novice and connoisseur alike. Over the next two decades, he
managed the corporate food service program for a global financial company while
consulting to independent restaurants and developing and conducting wine education
classes.
Fast forward to late 2004, Bruce retired to beautiful Naples, Florida. In 2006, Naples
Wine News was born and "A Nichols Worth of Wine", was introduced to Naples and
surrounding community wine enthusiasts. An internet-based, on-line publication
accessed at www.anicholsworthofwine.com, each issue offers readers news, views, and
reviews of wine, food and travel.
Bruce's wine consulting firm, Naples Wine Solutions, provides professional wine cellar
management, wine brokering for buyers and sellers, sommelier services, wine
education and wine event planning. For more information on these services, visit the "A
