Meet Tiffany Tobey: a dynamic sommelier whose journey from Lubbock to French-style wine rooms has shaped one of Dallas’s most refined palates. A graduate of Texas Tech University with dual bachelor’s degrees in Restaurant, Hotel & Institutional Management and English, she is currently adding a degree in Viticulture to her impressive résumé. Tiffany has also expanded her education through international travel, exploring wine tourism and winery practices around the world.
Her professional background includes serving on the board of Les Dames d’Escoffier and holding the role of Wine Director at SER Steak + Spirits inside the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, where she curated an award-winning wine program. She also played a key role in the Dallas openings of several Major Food Group concepts, including Carbone, Vino, and Sadelle’s. Tiffany holds certifications from both the Court of Master Sommeliers and the International Sommelier Guild, and recently added a Champagne Specialist credential from Napa Valley Wine Academy to her extensive list of achievements.
Tiffany’s ethos as a sommelier extends far beyond curating a wine list—she emphasizes adaptability, education, and genuine guest connection. She now produces her own wines under the label “Tiffany Tobey.” In partnership with the French brand Signature Sommelier (via Wines & Brands), she recently launched a collection that reflects her style: accessible yet refined, grounded in terroir and hospitality. Blended in the South of France, the line includes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, a Red Blend, and Rosé.
If you’re browsing wine lists in Uptown, Deep Ellum, or beyond and spot a bottle from Tiffany’s Signature Sommelier line, raise a glass in support of this local talent. With Tiffany Tobey’s elegant fusion of hospitality, education, and vision, the Signature Sommelier – Tiffany Tobey collection isn’t just another label—it’s an invitation. It reflects the work of a sommelier who understands that wine is an experience shared between the table, the guest, and the moment.
Keep an eye out for her wines at Corner Wines in Plano and Wine Authority, and mark your calendar for December 5, when Jonathon’s restaurant in Dallas will host her for a wine dinner. This is exactly the kind of story Texas wine lovers should raise a glass to.
