Hospitality

As a Certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers and a wine columnist for Parade Magazine, I have over a decade of experience in wine education and wine entertainment. In addition to writing about food and wine for various publications, I’ve worked with a number of individuals and corporations to organize and host wine-focused events, ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale affairs. I am comfortable engaging with wine novices and wine connoisseurs alike and am happy to tailor events to suit any audience.

I love to get creative and welcome the opportunity to work with you to execute your vision in a unique and memorable way. I believe wine should be approachable to everyone, so no matter how casual or fancy the setting, I have a “zero wine pretentiousness policy” and specialize in making wine accessible and relatable so that it can be understood and enjoyed by all!

Let me help you create, plan, and/or host:

  • Private wine tastings
  • Corporate wine tastings and seminars
  • Educational classes and take-home materials
  • Wine-pairing lunches and dinners
  • Private wine parties (Birthday, Bachelorette/Bachelor, Engagement, Anniversary, etc.)
  • Wine curation for special events (Dinner Parties, Bridal Showers, Rehearsal Dinners, Weddings, Holiday Parties, Fundraisers, New Business or Product Launches, etc.)
