After falling in love with wine in the heart of Tuscany, I realized the beverage fit right in with my other two passions — food and travel — so I became a full-time wine enthusiast. I started my career in the global wine marketing world, moved into wine sales, and later consulted and built wine programs for some top Los Angeles restaurants.

Along the way, I completed my WSET education through Level 3, passing with distinction — and discovered my real passion: bring people together over a shared loved of wine.

A California girl through and through, I love supporting local wineries and sharing the stories of the people behind the wines.

What started as a virtual wine tasting business during the pandemic has grown into three things I do every day: hosting small-group wine retreats in Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, Sicily, Mendoza, Piedmont, and beyond; designing custom wine country itineraries for travelers who want insider access instead of a mass-market tour; and running a Wine Tasting Club that connects wine lovers with boutique winemakers, wherever they live.

When I'm not sipping my way through wine country, you'll find me at home in sunny SoCal with my husband and sassy chiweenie, Blu — testing new recipes with farmers market produce, walking on the beach, and watching trash reality TV.
