Hello friends of New France! My name is Tyler Derginer and I am a Midwest transplant originally from Kenosha Wisconsin. My professional background is in bartending and hospitality. I love sharing my passion for outstanding wine, spirits, music and the people who make them. Before joining New France, I was the lead bartender at the Journeyman Hotel in Milwaukee Wisconsin, at Sooki & Mimi in Uptown Minneapolis, and at the Flora Room in the North Loop. I am a proud Bar 5-Day graduate, House of Lustau certified sherry specialist, and a self-styled aficionado of cane and agave spirits. My greatest love is music, and when not talking beverages you can find me playing records or digging for some old UK Street Soul 12”s.
