Raymond James Irwin began his passion for Champagne while working at one of Cleveland’s top restaurants, L’albatros Brasserie + Bar. There, under Sommelier, Brandon Chrostowski, he learned the art of hospitality and unparalleled service. During this time he was also introduced to his first small house Champagne and a love affair was born.
Not shortly after his first sip, he got to work and by December 2016, he had opened the Fizz bar in his home town and California’s capital city, Sacramento.
Since then, he has traveled the globe, determined to bring the most unique and interesting champagnes and sparkling wines to people everywhere. Whether at home or the Fizz bar, he looks forward to providing you an experience unlike any other.
