Jeff Smith, who shares his top picks for splurge-worthy Champagnes and Burgundy wines, has helped select vino and manage collections for names including Mel Brooks, Joel McHale and Irving Azoff.
“You are part private banker, part art curator, part psychiatrist,” explains Jeff Smith, Hollywood’s go-to wine cellar consigliere, of his job. “Sometimes you’re hosting private dinners for your clients; sometimes you go in through the back door.”
Smith, 63, grew up in Beverly Hills and now lives in Bel Air, a short stroll from the neighborhood’s storied Moraga Estate vineyard. He’s married to Amy Jo Smith, the longtime chair of Hollywood trade organization the Digital Entertainment Group.
