At Abel Brown, our commitment to exceptional hospitality extends beyond the plate—it’s in the glass, the service, and the experience we create for every guest. Leading our wine program and shaping the guest experience is Pablo Braida, our Managing Partner and Master Sommelier—one of only 281 Master Sommeliers in the world.

Originally from Morteros, Argentina, Pablo’s journey to the highest level of wine expertise has taken him across the globe. After leaving a career in accounting to follow his passion for wine, he trained and worked in London, Barcelona, Mallorca, and Napa Valley, gaining invaluable experience in some of the world’s most esteemed wine programs. In 2022, after years of dedication and study, he earned the title of Master Sommelier—making history as the first Argentinian (and only the third South American) to achieve this prestigious distinction.

At Abel Brown, Pablo’s vision is simple: make wine approachable, engaging, and unforgettable. He believes that great wine isn’t just about labels and vintages—it’s about the stories, the pairings, and the shared moments around the table. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just beginning to explore the world of wine, Pablo and his team are here to guide, not intimidate—helping you find the perfect glass to complement your meal, your mood, or your curiosity.

From expertly curated wine dinners to a thoughtfully crafted list that highlights Chef Todd’s Southern hospitality with global influence, Pablo ensures that every sip at Abel Brown is an experience to remember.
