There's really only one thing you need to know about me: I LOVE WINE! My love affair began in 2002 when I went to my first wine tasting and it blew my mind. Since then, I have pretty much become obsessed with wine - with learning about it, teaching other people about it, writing about it, selling it, smelling it, tasting it, drinking it, pairing it with foods, sharing it with friends - basically, I have become obsessed with experiencing wine and with sharing wine experiences with others. More than that, I have become obsessed with making the world of wine feel less complicated and overwhelming for people. And that's why I'm here.

 

My passion for wine has led me on a professional journey that has included sales and marketing with The Traveling Vineyard, facilitating wine tasting events, writing as The Portsmouth Wine Examiner, working on Borghese Vineyard and Winery (Long Island's first vineyard located on the North Fork) as the wine club and marketing coordinator, studying to obtain the Certified Specialist of Wine designation, and most recently being the CEO and Cause Entrepreneur of my very own wine business through viaONEHOPE.

 

When I am not doing wine things, I keep my tank full with coffee and craft beer, I work in Portsmouth as a full-time project manager, I am a mobile DJ, and I love hanging out with my fiancée and our two crazy pugs.
