I’m a wine consultant, longtime beverage professional, and firm believer that wine shouldn’t be so serious. After more than a decade in beverage retail, I’ve done it all—buying, managing, merchandising, hosting, teaching, storytelling… I’ve even opened a bottle of wine on the top of a mountain using a hiking boot!

My work is about helping people feel confident and connected through wine. I demystify without dumbing down, balancing real knowledge with approachability, curiosity, and fun… because wine is meant to be FUN, not intimidating.

Specializing in thoughtful assortment curation, wine club strategy, and hosting engaging tastings and classes, I pair substance with joy. I’m drawn to wines made with intention and care, where thoughtful farming and underrepresented voices are always more important than points. Minimal intervention, maximum character.

Whether I’m building your wine list, leading a room full of first-time tasters, or helping a business find its voice through wine, my goal is always the same: make wine feel welcoming, accessible, and genuinely enjoyable. No gatekeeping. No pretense. Just really good wine and great conversation.
