Kathy, great job on the video review! First class production and well done. The 2008 should be in the stores now and I think it is just as good if not better than the 2007. Thank you, Robert

Tyler holds the distinction of being one of Southern California’s youngest Certified Sommeliers. He possesses an expert palate and nearly encyclopedic knowledge of wines and the wine-making process. His interest in oenology can be traced to his teens when he snuck a sip of his father’s haut-brion. Since then he has thrived to learn as much as he can about wines. He studied his craft at the International Guild of Sommeliers and The Courts of Sommeliers.
The Cellar has been an Orange County institution since it opened its doors in 1970. Its Old World charm as realized by the craftsmen who built Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean sets the perfect backdrop to a world class dining experience emphasizing the finest in classical French cuisine. The reinterpretations of classic French recipes and attention to detail have earned the restaurant critical acclaim. The Cellar is located at 305 North Harbor Blvd, Fullerton; (714) 525-5682; visit http://www.cellardining.com.
