After graduating from Wesleyan University (CT) and starting my career in Boston, I quickly realized that my heart was more in my hobby than in my high-tech job. Trips to the wine shop often yielded awesomely poor (but hilarious) results, so my sister and I finally took a course at the Boston Center for Adult Education to learn how to taste and appreciate wine. And that kicked it all off. A stint in St. John in the Caribbean to wait tables and just unwind for 8 months (yes, I quit my high-tech corporate job, packed two bags, and hopped on a plane) was followed by a great two years completing my MBA at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (where I met M.C. Ice, my podcast partner and husband) and since then my career has been solely about wine. I am a Certified Sommelier, Certified Specialist of Wine, MBA, blogger, wine educator, and normal wine person. My goal is to bring the love of wine to people who don’t take themselves too seriously but who want great info about wine. I do this through the podcast, blog, book, video, speaking events, social media, and anything else that makes wine fun, easy, and normal.
