Todd Ross - Wine Manager
Todd Ross began working at Mills in 1992. Todd's wine travels have taken him to Roussillon, Corbieres, Minervois, Languedoc, the length of the Rhone Valley, Beaujolais, the Maconnais, the Cote d'Or, Alsace, and the major appellations of the Loire Valley, as well as California's Napa Valley, Santa Cruz and Monterey wine districts. Most recently he toured Spain, visiting Jarez, Rueda, Ribera del Duero, Rioja, Montsant and Priorat. Todd's affinity is for the handcrafted wines of the true grower-winemakers. This personal attachment is related to his overall respect for the wine farmers sense of place, their love of the land, and his own farm upbringing. To email Todd: todd@millswine.com .

Rick Breza
Trained in French cuisine as an executive chef and long-time restaurateur from Winter Park, Florida, Rick is also an ex-professional drum player and - in his words - avid bad golfer.
