Out of all the places you could be in this very moment, you are here with me…and I appreciate that, so Thank You. Connection is the heartbeat of our wine community. Wine unifies and brings people together which is why I wanted to create a platform that unites and uplifts a wine society that couldn’t be shut down during a pandemic.

I launched The Wine Girl soon after I realized that my small business, Beverly Hills Wine Tours founded in 2017, could not sustain the economic impact that left so many small businesses, including mine, unable to survive. The Wine Girl has become a place for 2.3 thousand followers to share, learn, and gain inspiration in our wine community.

The year 2020 has been nothing shy of a shit-show. Many of us, still, are navigating our way through unprecedented times with many uncertainties and aspirations that have been taken away by COVID-19. Although we are in uncharted territory, let us find ourselves in a familiar space with one another. A space that reminds us that we are all connected and that we are all one, just like the vine is to the soil and the vino is to the terroir.

My love and passion for wine has driven me to become a Sommelier and work in many facets of the industry from Wine Distributor to Wine Director. However, being a Boisset Ambassador has changed my life forever for one reason: YOU
Thank you for joining me. I raise my glass, grateful, to be able to unify with hundreds of women and men… even when those spaces happen to be in Happy Hour Virtual Tasting Rooms!
