Douglas Nevins

Beverage Director

Doug Nevins has extensive expertise in both the wine industry and restaurant beverage management.

Doug has grown up in a family that has been heavily involved in all tiers of the wine industry for close to four decades, and currently owns two premier wine shops – Grande Harvest Wines in New York’s Grand Central Terminal and Wine Wise in Greenwich, CT – the only wine shop that allows customers to taste virtually any wine before they purchase.

Doug further developed his career at the restaurant level by working in such high-end Boston restaurantsas Vinalia, Neptune Oyster and the Boston Harbor Hotel. As assistant wine manager, then wine manager, he developed a keen sense for creating wine lists to pair with the restaurants' menus. He extended this knowledge to expand the restaurant's wine-by-the glass sales by utilizing wine preservation systems and creating an appealing listing of specialty wine/glass offerings.

He was instrumental in building the wine list at Neptune Oyster which was chosen as “one of the top ten new restaurant wine lists in the country” by Food and Wine Magazine.

This wine list portrays the diverse knowledge and experience that Doug has gained throughout the years, resulting in a collaboration of wines from around the world that will certainly be enjoyed by many during Osetra’s journey.
