Meet the Master Sommeliers

Our Master Sommeliers have achieved the highest level of distinction from the Court of Master Sommeliers. We are pleased to share these member profiles of these distinguished members and to spotlight their story, journey and learn a bit more about what makes them a master in the field.

In 2012, Micu completed the program at the age of 28. Micu now leads the wine and beverage programming for World Equestrian Center’s seven restaurants. His breadth of knowledge surrounding wine in particular drives the ongoing acquisitions available through the award-winning wine program at Stirrups Restaurant, which was recognized in 2023 with a prestigious Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence.

Micu has also managed beverage programs for Michelin Star and Wine Spectator Grand Award restaurants.
