66 / the tasting panel / march 2015 Photos by Alex Rubin Fred Dame, MS is VP/Prestige Accounts for American Wine & Spirits (a division of SWS of CA) with William Sherer, MS. BEHIND THE SCENES WITH FRED DAME Fred Dame: I'm sitting here with William and I just keep thinking we're back in Monterey, when I was at The Sardine Factory and you were at Montrio. William Sherer: The first time I met you was 1989, when you taught my MS Level One at the Monterey Wine Festival. Wow, was I naïve! Indeed, but charming! And you have worked at some great restaurants since then before coming to Redd. True, I always looked at my development like a chef. Go to different locations, cities, cuisines and learn as much as you can. Aureole in Las Vegas, All Seasons Market, A Conversation with William Sherer, MS Redd, Yountville, CA
