I know what you’re thinking. Why on Earth is Mike Epps selling wine? Actually it’s his doppelganger, Monsterville Horton IV. I had the luxury of meeting Monsterville at ALP company day at school, and in case you couldn’t tell, Bizarro Mike Epps loves his wine! Oh, and don’t forget that there were three earlier versions of Monsterville before this one, who I have also named The Monsterville 4.0. The Monsterville 4.0 does it all. How many times can you say Monsterville in one day? And dibs on naming any pet of mine Monsterville 5.0 (so don’t even think about it).
Here is an excerpt from the Cova Wines website:
Monsterville Horton, IV
Monsterville Horton, IV grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and was introduced to the exciting world of wine at the young age of seven. This childhood intrigue turned into a grown up passion. He has been privileged to visit, study and live in every major wine region in the world and has taught wine education and appreciation in both Europe and North America. He received a D.E.L.E. Diploma in Spanish from the University of Salamanca in Salamanca, Spain. His career to date has included sommelier, wine consultant, wine educator/lecturer, wine buyer and wine judge. He has been active in the wine industry for fifteen years and has spent the last seven years in Houston.
As one of only 135 Certified Wine Educators in the world, Monsterville has proven to possess one of the best palates on the planet. He has shared his talent hosting some of the most popular wine events in Texas. The popularity of his events stem from not only his incredible knowledge and refined palate, but also, his approachable style and infectious enthusiasm.
Monsterville is co-proprietor of the unique Cova Hand-Selected Wines: a three-part concept that features an awarding winning restaurant, retail wine shop and wine bar.
Monsterville believes that great wine is not simple; however, its’ not inscrutable either. With a little education one can gain a greater appreciation and understanding of this delicious beverage. One can actually improve his/her quality of life by properly enjoying this gift from God. As Hemingway stated, “A person with increasing knowledge and sensory education may derive infinite enjoyment from wine.”
