Consulting Services

Inspired picks. Sound strategy. A collaborative process. I’m thrilled to be your partner in wine.

Appearing In:

It all starts with a conversation.

Whether you’re designing a wine list that raises eyebrows or launching a wine club that celebrates the unsung, I’ll work alongside you and your team to bring your desires to life. For years, I’ve worked alongside acclaimed wine shops, restaurants, and hosts of all kinds to plan assortments, establish pricing strategy, and train teams to speak fluently about what they’re pouring.

Past Work

Nearly a decade ago, I left the sommelier path for a more direct connection to wine and the people who drink it. I’ve worked from the ground up in wine retail, making my way from part-time holiday help to general manager at my first shop. 

In 2020, I became the founding buyer at Elemental Spirits Co. in Atlanta’s Poncey-Highland neighborhood. There, I built an assortment of up to 500 wines at any given time and created an approachable culture that blended enthusiasm with education. By 2023, Elemental had been named one of Wine Enthusiast’s Best Wine Retailers in America twice

My Process

Listen First

I take the time to understand your goals, values, audience, and challenges, so the work reflects who you are and what your unique program needs.

Curate with Intention.

I scour the market to find thoughtful, high-quality selections that reflect your values, support your goals, and resonate with your customers..

Translate, not Intimidate

Your program will be most successful by welcoming people into the world of wine, not intimidating them out of it. We’ll work together to do just this.

Refine and Support

Something not working for you? Let’s change it up! I will stay engaged to adjust and evolve to ensure you get your ideal result.

Let's get to it!
