About Me
The Tale of a Semester Abroad...
My love of wine began during a university semester abroad program in the South of France. As part of the program, I was placed with a French family and quickly bonded with my new "French mom." Before I knew it, she took me under her wing and in addition, to helping improve my French, she taught me all she knew about wine, food and entertaining "comme il faut."
Drinking wine with every meal became "de rigueur" and my interest in wine grew. I soon found myself organizing holidays to wine regions all over Europe and when I wasn't doing that, I was going into wine shops to bombard its staff with questions about the beverage I was coming to lo love. Soon after graduation, I started a wine import/distribution company in Vermont and began importing wines from Europe and from different boutique wineries around the US.
As a wine professional, I have had the opportunity to work with top restaurateurs and retailers along the East Coast from Maine to Washington D.C. in developing their wine lists and in the organization of dinners, weddings, educational events and tastings of all types.
I have attained the Diploma of Wine and Spirits from WSET and have over two decade's experience in the trade. For fun, I like to make videos of some of my travels, often featuring what I consider to be some of the most interesting wineries or micro-distilleries on my Youtube channel, Elixrr.TV.
