Meet Eric Hammer
Resident Sommelier & Wine Advisor
Wine is more than what is in the bottle. It is the people who make it, the place it comes from, and the experience created when it is shared.
As Resident Sommelier and Wine Advisor for Vineyard Wine Club, Eric Hammer brings a hospitality-driven point of view to every selection, drawing on a career shaped by wine, beverage programs, luxury hospitality, education, and relationships with producers around the world.
Every Bottle Has to Earn Its Place
When Eric selects wine for the Club, he begins with three questions:
Why this wine?
Why now?
What does it bring to the table?
The result is a collection that can move from legendary producers to lesser-known discoveries, always chosen with intention. Each selection is an opportunity to experience something worth knowing, drinking, and sharing.
Experience Behind the Selection
A Certified Sommelier with a background in restaurant, resort, and hotel hospitality, Eric has built and led beverage programs, curated wine lists, developed tasting experiences, and helped guests discover wine with greater confidence.
That same philosophy guides Vineyard Wine Club. The goal is not simply to send members bottles. It is to introduce wines with a point of view, provide the context behind them, and create a more meaningful relationship with what is in the glass.
Curated by THE LIST.
Through THE LIST., Eric brings his relationships, experience, and perspective to Vineyard Wine Club, seeking out wines that deserve a place at the table and sharing the story behind why they were chosen.
