Travis Street Hospitality’s Beverage Director, Daniel Bowman, joined the team at Georgie in December 2021. His career has taken him through almost every position you can hold inside a restaurant’s walls from bussing and washing dishes, managing operations and teams, and kitchen roles. Ultimately, he found his passion in wine and beverage and focused his efforts there. At the age of 21, he passed his first exam with the Court of Master Sommeliers. He has continued his education, with the Certified Sommelier exam as the top scorer. Most recently he passed the rigorous Advanced Knowledge Assessment. The Advanced Theory exam is where his eyes are set now. Daniel also sits as a Board Member with the Dallas Sommelier Society furthering local industry education.

Along with his enthusiasm for wine comes his love for travel. Whenever he can, he travels the world to experience the diverse cultures, cuisine, and beverages on display. This has taken him across Japan, Europe, and Mexico finding new and exciting things to source for our restaurants. The wine that changed it all was a glass of Domaine de Montvac Vacqueyras at Le Pré Catelan in Paris.

Daniel is passionate for creating things, so orchestrating wine lists is the perfect way to demonstrate that. Meticulous searches and tastings across 20+ suppliers ensure incredible craft wine lists. Offerings range from a delicious budget wine you’ve never heard of to the Grand Crus of Burgundy and Bordeaux, along with everything in between.

Shortly after starting in 2021, he achieved the Wine Spectator ‘Best of Award of Excellence’ Award. To date, Georgie has maintained that status and has even been recognized by Star Wine List out of Stockholm, Sweden. He continues to constantly sculpt our beverage programs to offer interesting, classic, and surprising things to our guests and accentuate every meal with the intricacies of beverages.
