About the Owner
Brook E. Ray began Wine² with a simple idea: make a place that's comfortable and fun to learn about wine, a place where friends can talk, you can meet new people and explore the world of wine without uppity attitudes or pretense. She wanted an atmosphere similar to places she visits in Europe, one that seems to make time slip away.
The wine program at Wine² was developed with a focus on education and exploration. Brook chooses interesting varieties, sometimes from regions rarely mentioned in the main stream, based on their value. Every wine and beer offered has been personally tasted with this question in mind, "Is this a good value for the money?" She believes wine should never be about hype, it should be about enjoyment, a journey, a moment.
Brook is a sommelier, with ceritifcaiton through the Court of Master Sommeliers. She is also an International Bordeaux Tutor and has been certified by the Wine Academy of Spain.
Currently she is working in the WSET program with the ultimate goal of becoming a Master of Wine.
She teachers at Collin County's Culinary Institute, teaches our wine class at the bar, and is available for private tastings and instruction.
"The first thing to remember about wine is: no one can know it all. It's a never ending exploration, each wine having a life of its own, expressing the memories of the grape, so to speak. The second thing to remember is: this is just rotten grape juice; it should be fun and is hardly cause for snottiness! Drink what you like and like what you drink. I look forward to learning with you. Cheers!"
~Brook E. Ray
