SAN FRANCISCO, June 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Full Circle Wine Solutions, Inc., a global wine and spirits education firm, announced today an official alliance with Doug Frost, by bringing him onto Full Circle's core leadership team as Chief Engagement Officer. Frost, a Kansas City-based wine and spirits education icon and one of three people worldwide to hold both the Master Sommelier and Master of Wine qualifications, joins Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Limeng Stroh, and President and Chief Education Officer, Master Sommelier Evan Goldstein, in their successful efforts taking high quality education programs to the wine and spirits industries.

With a versatile client base that includes Sonoma County, ViniPortugal, Wines of Argentina and Wines of Brazil, Full Circle is poised to thrive as it enters its fifth year with Frost as a member of the management team.

"It seems natural for Doug to join the team in a greater and more formal capacity," says Goldstein. "I've been working with him since the 1990's with the Seagram Schools (of Service and Hospitality and of Spirits) and the Master Sommelier program over the past two decades. With our steady growth, the timing is picture-perfect to enhance his role with the company."

Frost will kick off his new role with Full Circle by driving the launch of ViniPortugal's "Top 50 Portuguese Wines" program in the USA. "I am ecstatic to join in the management of Full Circle's diverse and remarkable group of businesses. I hope to add to Full Circle's ongoing achievements with a number of new projects, launching soon. Evan and I have worked together many times over the last two decades; now we look to add to that happy history with Limeng's able guidance and acumen."

"With two of the country's most respected wine educators under one roof, our clients can expect top-notch education and tasting programs with unparalleled creativity and high appeal," says Stroh.
