Joshua Aranda
A wine collector with a balanced wine industry work experience which includes working with private collectors, retail, and at a winery. Joshua Aranda got his start with Centovini, a boutique shop with a hand-picked selection of artisanal Italian wine. Naturally, Italian wines are among his favorites, Nebbiolo being his favorite red grape (Barbera and Cabernet Franc tie for close second). Other experiences include Chelsea Wine & Storage where his love for collectible wine was cultivated and just last year, eight months at Wolffer where he split his time between the tasting room and making wine with Roman Roth. Joshua has recently been entrusted with managing the Grape Collective wine store in the UWS.
