WINES BY RANDAL CAPAROSO

Randal Caparoso may be familiar to wine buffs across the country as the longtime, multi-award winning wine director and founding partner of the Roy's restaurant group (from 1988 to 2001). But after 23 years of sommelier work, he has embarked on his own wine label project called Caparoso Wines. Randal has also written a book called Wining Boy, detailing his unique perspective on wine and food, and incorporating many of the wine columns he has written for The Honolulu Advertiser since 1981.

If you'd like to contact him in person, he can be reached by e-mail at randycaparoso@earthlink.net. If you'd like to learn about his wines, visit the Wine Lovers Page.
