Kurt has run the floor at Aria for over a decade, building a 1,400-label cellar with an obsessive’s love of aged Riesling and grower Champagne. He reads a table fast and pours with conviction — happiest when he can talk a guest out of the obvious and into something they’ll actually remember.
“I’d rather pour you one perfect glass you’ve never heard of than a famous label you already know.”
