Chad Carey
Chad is both ignored & feared amongst the San Anto wine intelligentsia. He opened the first clothing-optional wine bar in town (The Monterey) and has never looked back. Mostly because of the “clothing optional” part. He won’t shut the hell up about Beaujolais (like, ever), and only drinks wine out of small bottles when magnums are unavailable. When it comes to sommelier, uh, ‘activities’, he respectfully insists that you keep your study hall outta his recess.

Maryia Rusina
Maryia was born and raised in the beautiful country of Belarus (you can google it later). She moved to Italy on graduation day and began working in wine. Eventually landing in Texas, she was convinced to work at Little Death over tacos and knew LD would become her new home away from home. She is on a constant campaign to turn LD into a part-time (re: full time) ABBA
На здоровье! Aka Cheers!

Gabby Melendez
Being the only one at the lame high school party to drink the Franzia and actually like it, Gabby has always had a penchant for wine. She cuts her own hair, loves anchovies in her dirty martinis, and will always tell you if you have lipstick on your teeth. If you hear Kate Bush or Neil Diamond blasting from the speakers, odds are that Gabby is working.

Lindsey Hurd
When Lindsey isn’t minding her four Wes Anderson-inspired sons in her tiny Wes Anderson-inspired house, she’s collecting dead plants and discarded objects to photograph, sometimes on her body. When she’s achieved international fame in the pursuit of these activities, she might give you a hundred dollars. Until then, she can be counted on for a Beaujolais recommendation or the best champagne and taco pairing and sometimes she hands out imaginary gold stars to her favorite customers, which is the best. Come by and say hi!

Morghan Townsend
Hailing from the great motherland of Ohio, Morghan’s background in wine was primitive- if not downright dirty. Her grandmother, Claudette, taught her that if the wine wasn’t sweet enough, simply add Splenda. Yet, noticing potential in this fledgling, Chad took her under his wing and opened her eyes to the exciting world of Beaujolais and Northern Rhône wine. If you’re stopping by the shop, feel free to pick her brain about the latest Kpop news, college football games, your travel itinerary, or what French rosé is best!
