It is with very heavy hearts that we share our beloved sommelier, Anthony “Wes” Wesley, has passed away.

For over 2 decades, Wes collaborated closely with our late founder, Ellen Davis. Through their shared vision and unwavering commitment, they forged a legacy of excellence that continues to define our establishment.

With Wes’s infectious joy and enthusiasm, he shared his extensive knowledge and passion for wine with our guests, turning interactions into unforgettable experiences.

Beyond his expertise in the world of wine, Wes embodied the true spirit of hospitality. His warmth and genuine care for others created an atmosphere of camaraderie and friendship at McNinch House. His legacy extends far beyond the countless bottles uncorked; it lives on in the many lives he touched with his kindness and generosity.
