Colin Snyder

Sales Area Manager - Mid Atlantic

Colin was born in Boston, Massachusetts, but grew up on both coasts of the United States. Wine was an everyday beverage in his family growing up, but he did not take an interest for himself until he began working at the Bazaar in Beverly Hills at age 23. One memorable night while working in the private dining room, the sommelier called out sick and Colin found himself pouring (and tasting) the wine pairings for the Chef’s multi-course tasting menu. This experience led to an enduring fascination with the world of wine – the regions, the cultures, the people, and the craftsmanship.

After working multiple harvests in Spain and Italy, Colin decided to pursue wine full time and has achieved the certification of WSET III as well as Certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers (he is currently studying for Advanced). He leaves behind a wonderful experience of working the floor in restaurants in Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, DC, and is looking forward to expanding the Ethica footprint in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.
