Autorenporträt
Internationally-regarded sommelier Noel Shu, Managing Partner for the ultra-luxe award-winning wine and spirits purveyor Prodiguer Brands, is a self-made millionaire, entrepreneur and author. With impeccable panache and style, Shu has already accomplished more than many do in an entire lifetime.He earned his undergraduate degree at West Point, completed the U.S. Army's elite and grueling Combat Diver Qualification Course at the Special Forces Underwater Operations School (regarded by many soldiers as the toughest military school to endure), and has personally designed and sold extraordinary multi-million dollar timepieces and necklaces to China's elite through his ancillary, highly successful luxury jewelry business. Always striving for growth and self-improvement and with a reverence for continuing education, despite his busy schedule Shu is currently pursuing an Ivy League Master's degree at Columbia University. As a globally-minded business practitioner, Shu understands commerce on both sides of the Pacific and brings that expertise to bear with his various ventures, including the highly anticipated release of "Regale"--an exclusive wine brand expressly developed for the Chinese marketplace, which will be exported to the region later this year.
