Chad Carey
Chad is both ignored & feared amongst the San Anto wine intelligentsia. He opened the first clothing-optional wine bar in town (The Monterey) and has never looked back. Mostly because of the “clothing optional” part. He won’t shut the hell up about Beaujolais (like, ever), and only drinks wine out of small bottles when magnums are unavailable. When it comes to sommelier, uh, ‘activities’, he respectfully insists that you keep your study hall outta his recess.

Maryia Rusina
Maryia was born and raised in the beautiful country of Belarus (you can google it later). She moved to Italy on graduation day and began working in wine. Eventually landing in Texas, she was convinced to work at Little Death over tacos and knew LD would become her new home away from home. She is on a constant campaign to turn LD into a part-time (re: full time) ABBA
На здоровье! Aka Cheers!

Gabby Melendez
Being the only one at the lame high school party to drink the Franzia and actually like it, Gabby has always had a penchant for wine. She cuts her own hair, loves anchovies in her dirty martinis, and will always tell you if you have lipstick on your teeth. If you hear Kate Bush or Neil Diamond blasting from the speakers, odds are that Gabby is working.

Lindsey Bernier
When Lindsey isn’t minding her four Wes Anderson-inspired sons in her tiny Wes Anderson-inspired house, she’s collecting dead plants and discarded objects to photograph, sometimes on her body. When she’s achieved international fame in the pursuit of these activities, she might give you a hundred dollars. Until then, she can be counted on for a Beaujolais recommendation or the best champagne and taco pairing and sometimes she hands out imaginary gold stars to her favorite customers, which is the best. Come by and say hi!

Stephanie Lopez
When Stephanie isn't in the airstream shucking anywhere from 700-900 oysters, you can find this shy, sleeveless shirt - bandanna wearing, cuban Pisces feeding our resident grumpy cat, picking up dishes or behind the bar trying to help you pick a bottle of "um this seems like it's good" wine. Always helpful but never talkative (unless it has to do with Star Wars, Tegan and Sara, cats or astrology) Stephanie will probably walk right passed you as they are laughing to themselves over a pun nobody got to hear...except wine puns. Those are just in POUR taste. What did I tell you, Stephanie is hilarious. Amongst also cooking at Double Standard, volunteering with the Feral Cat Coalition of San Antonio, they run Vegan and Sara, a plant based, casual comfort pop up.
Stephanie enjoys painting, cuban coffee, 80s music, comic books, dancing, complaining how kids don't understand the greatness of the 90s and currently holds the record of 50 oysters shucked in 7 minutes.
