Bonjour! Thank you for visiting.

A bit about me. I grew up in a “Foodie” family and my parents allowed me to be a mad scientist in the kitchen. We grew all of our own vegetables, and I was lucky enough to grab a bucket and go into the garden for “Grocery shopping”. I began catering small events in 1999, and learned more about wine and food parings.

I started my career in the wine industry in 2011 as a Wine Club Manager at Chateau Montelena. I immersed myself into learning everything I could about the winemaking process, working in the Wine Club department during the day, changing clothes at 5pm and working as a cellar rat until 10pm, and in the vineyards on weekends.

Since then, I have worked with Treasury Wine Estates, Truett-Hurst, VML, and Georis, along with providing training sessions to dozens of wineries in California, Oregon and Washington.
