Since 2017 I have been learning and enjoying wine on a professional level. I have completed the WSET Level III as well as numerous region specific education seminars. I started hosting wine events in and around the city starting in 2018. In 2020 I started virtual wine tastings and workshops during the lockdown. I partnered with small online retail shops like Primal Wine and MYSA, Wine Regions like the Austrian Wine Board, and keynote speakers such as writer Simon J. Woolf, Master Sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier, Importer Jenny Lefcourt, Mateja Graver, Sommelier Doreen Winkler, and Sommelier Charles Springfield. I was even featured on WFLA Daytime TV and in the Huff Post as part of The Best Virtual Wine Tastings To Join During Coronavirus Lockdown. I now have expanded my services to Monmouth & Ocean County, NJ.
I’m from Monmouth County, born and raised. I can’t begin to express how exciting it is to be working within the area I grew up. A key feature of my business plan is to support local bottle shops as opposed to big chains. I strive to support privately owned local businesses as much as possible. View me as your local guide for all things wine. Whether you’re enjoying a wine tasting with a group of your closest friends, planning a private dinner party, or you’re interested in more exclusive, curated services I’m here to provide the best overall experience for my clients. Thank you for choosing to work with me.
To book any service please email or text me. I will respond within 24 hours or 48 hours on weekends. I need a minimum of two weeks notice for all private events.
All events outside of Monmouth and Northern Ocean County are subject to a $100 travel surcharge. Sommelier substitutions may also occur.
