What do you enjoy most about your role?

The best part of my job is connecting with our members. I love learning their preferences, helping them discover new wines, and making sure every experience with us feels thoughtful and personal.

What brought you into the wine industry?

Wine has been part of my life for a long time. My great-grandfather had a vineyard, and my parents used to make wine in our mudroom with grapes from his vines. Years later, studying abroad in New Zealand and participating in a university wine program helped turn that early connection into a passion and a career.

What is your favorite wine?

That's tough - I would say the Domaine Serene, Fleur de Lis Vineyard for Pinot Noir, and Château de la Crée, Santenay Premier Cru Beaurepaire Chardonnay for Chardonnay.

What is your favorite way to enjoy wine?

I enjoy wine most with my friends. The occasion isn’t as important as the community around the table; sometimes we’ll dive into the details and geek out about the wine, and other times we’re just enjoying a great bottle together.

What are your passions?
Outside of wine, I’m passionate about travel, great food, and discovering places that feel authentic and connected to their local culture.
