When it comes to the world of wine, few names resonate with the kind of genuine expertise and infectious passion that Murphy Perng brings to the table. As the private sommelier and owner of Matter Of Wine (MOW), Murphy has crafted an unparalleled wine-tasting experience that’s making waves across Los Angeles and Orange County. Summer is here and it’s the perfect time to delve into what makes MOW a standout in the crowded field of wine education.
Credentials That Impress
Murphy’s credentials speak for themselves. All Wine Educators are WSET or CMS Certified, ensuring that each tasting session is backed by a wealth of knowledge and a deep appreciation for the nuances of wine. Her accomplishments are further highlighted by an impressive client list that includes industry giants like Google, Buzzfeed, Snapchat, and Hyundai. Featured in prestigious publications such as National Geographic and Somm Journal, Murphy’s reputation as a top-tier sommelier is well-established.
The Unforgettable Sip & Sail Experience
I had the pleasure of experiencing one of these Sip & Sail events firsthand, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we gathered at the Marina Del Rey pier, there was an air of excitement and camaraderie among the group. Murphy’s warm, approachable nature immediately put everyone at ease, turning strangers into friends by the end of the evening. Her talent lies not just in her deep understanding of wine, but in her ability to make each person feel involved and engaged.
Murphy guided us through the tasting with the skill of a seasoned storyteller, weaving together the histories, regions, and intricacies of each wine. We learned to appreciate the body, taste and aroma of the wines, understanding how the region’s climate and soil influenced the flavors in our glasses. All this, while the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the waters of Marina Del Rey.
Beyond the Public Sails
Beyond the monthly public Sip & Sails, MOW offers private sails year-round, catering to a variety of occasions including bachelorettes, corporate events, anniversaries, and birthdays. Whether it’s an intimate proposal or a lively team-building event, Murphy’s private sails promise an experience that’s both educational and deeply personal. For those preferring the comfort of their own venue, MOW also provides on-site private tastings and virtual tasting workshops, bringing the expertise of a certified sommelier directly to your door.

Murphy’s ability to command a room (or a boat) with her wine knowledge is complemented by her down-to-earth personality. She breaks down the complexities of wine with ease, making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Her sessions are not just about tasting wine; they’re about forming connections, learning something new, and enjoying the moment.
