bruceA "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.
