September Burton

September Burton is a sommelier, former U.S. Navy chef, and founder of Sippin with September, a Texas hospitality consultancy that helps restaurants turn wine into a profit center without killing hospitality. She builds concept-fit wine lists, locks in by-the-glass pour costs, trains teams to sell with confidence, and installs simple weekly KPIs so owners can see COGS, mix, and momentum at a glance. September has led multi-million-dollar programs as a Sommelier and now partners with independents across Central Texas to refresh lists, run staff workshops, and design guest-loved tasting events. Her origin story blends service, resilience, and the belief that learning the language of wine gives teams a new voice—and operators better margins.
