What we are
Bridges is a community that celebrates wine and culture. We want to explore and share the connections between wine, hospitality, food, art, literature, music etc. We want to make it fun and easy for anyone to participate. We believe openness, diversity and engagement reward exponentially. So while we may love finding you great wine, an up and coming artist, galleries to visit, the greatest fish monger near you, a perfect Byo spot for a group or a date, we also want to equip you with the tools and confidence to dive in head first. We will teach you, share with you and connect you to one another to whatever degree works for you.
For now, we create content and offer a vast range of consulting services. Whether it’s urgent and one time or long term and ongoing, we’re committed to finding a solution that works for you.
We have plans in the works for a wine and culture subscription as well as events that engage all the communities we love.
WHO WE ARE
Bridges is in its infancy, but has big dreams. Founder Cory Holt has over a decade of experience buying, selling and offering personalized hospitality through wine. Throughout that time he has built knowledgable teams, and taught people of all backgrounds and experience levels about wine. Most recently he was the Beverage director of Maialino, Danny Meyer’s Roman Trattoria beside Gramercy Park in Manhattan, where he oversaw 1,600+ selections from Italy and champagne. His wine experience, alongside a passion for all things hospitality and culture have lead him to recognize how often these parallel worlds remain separate and compartmentalized.
the more they are incorporated, the more they are in conversation with one another, the more fun and rewarding hospitality seems to be for everyone involved. The goal is simple, to share these passions, which can often be insular, exclusive, expensive, impersonal, narrow and over simplified. Whatever we do, we will strive to change those tendencies towards being Diverse, open and inclusive, rich in nuance, value and personality.
