| KEVIN ZRALY celebrated his 30th anniversary in 2006 as the founder and teacher of the immensely popular Windows on the World Wine School that has graduated over 18,000 students since its inception. He has been teaching wine for over 30 years, beginning at the age of 20, and has studied wine-making techniques in California and all the great wine regions of Europe.
Acclaimed as the creator of the famous wine list at Windows on the World (which sold more wine than any restaurant in the United States), he also designed the training program for the most knowledgeable wine-service staff in America.
The recipient of the James Beard Award as the Wine and Spirits Professional of the Year and the Food and Beverage Association’s Man of the Year Award, Kevin is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Culinary Institute of America and has been featured in The New York Times, People magazine, The Wall Street Journal , GQ magazine, Newsweek, and USA Today, among others. Kevin has co-hosted the Food Network’s “Wine A to Z,” and his charisma, engagingly breezy style, and love of wine captivate everyone he teaches.
