Originally from Mexico City and raised in Toronto. I recently graduated with honors from the Special Events Program at George Brown College where I had an introduction to wine class that intrigued and resonated with me. It sparked an interest that left me wanting to learn more about the industry. During the course of my studies, I had the opportunity to journey back home where I discovered that Mexico has a vibrant wine culture, rich with history. This inspired me to gain further knowledge about unique wines and to showcase my heritage.

After years of working in the Craft Beer scene in Ontario, I decided to shift my attention and focus into Wine. I was kindly provided the opportunity to complete my first harvest in Kelowna in the fall of 2020.

Currently rekindling a multi-tiered business that now includes an agency, in addition to events, consulting, and education.
Past experience includes: wine director, sommelier, working & volunteering as a wine judge, educator/ trained instructor with George Brown College, Fine Vintage, and IWEG Academy, product specialist and Spirits Advocate with LCBO, brand ambassador, assistant general manager for a local winery, board member with Ontario Wine Society, and more.

I am a student of wine with WSET level 2 certificate and multiple others wine tasting certificates. My goal was to study and focus study on pursue the Certified Sommerlier exam and WSET level 3 in 2020. However, there were many changes in my plans according to the situation, there fore i decided to stay at home and do self study by reading book and virtual wine tasting with friends.
I work at Richmond station as a support then move up to server and learning bartending as well. Ryan, who is one of the owners of the restaurant, is well aware of my passion with wine and he has a great affect and inspire me to move forward with my studies. He also organize many wine tasting practice for us to join, it was a great opportunity to learn by tasting wines because we have access to huge resources.
I want to appy for a scholarship to achieve WSET 3, which is my next goal. It would help me tremendously in my career path working in restaurants in the future.

Jeff Lau has worked in the hospitality industry since he was a a teenager, and continued working at restaurants and hotels through out his undergraduate degree in Fine Arts at the University of Guelph. After graduating, he started working at an Italian restaurant in Toronto where he fell in love with all things Italian, especially food and wine. He found like-minded peers who encouraged him to pursuit a career in wine which led him to complete the WSET level 2 & 3 program and consequently a sommelier certification with the Court of Master Sommeliers.

Jeff Lau has found inspiration from travelling to different wine regions, talking to wine makers and wine growers, sharing his passion for food, wine and culture. He is currently the sommelier and assistant general manager at Constantine, where he curates and oversees the beverage program.

I started my career in the hospitality industry as a barista. After several years of working in specialty coffee, my love for food and wine led me to the F&B industry. I got a chance to manage a restaurant and wine bar in a small boutique hotel in Toronto after and then served at a couple wine-focused restaurants, learning as I went. And I’m excited to continue my journey!
