About
Hello!

My name is Grace and I am a professional sommelier, mixologist, events and hospitality expert, and now, a virtual wine tasting host. As everyone is staying home and reconnecting with friends and family from all over, why not do it over a nice bottle of wine? With customized virtual wine services, you can enjoy a memorable wine tasting experience from the comfort of your own home. Whether you're looking to explore your personal wine collection, expand your knowledge about wines, or try something new and exciting delivered to your door, I am here for all your in-home wine tasting needs. I can offer personalized services such as wine and food pairings, regional education, and even host a fun-filled Zoom party- think of me as your personal "#covinoconnection".

With more than ten years of experience in the wine industry, I have tasted wines from all over the country including New York, Texas, Southern California, Willamette Valley, Napa Valley and even the mountaintops of Vail. I started my career in wine when I was only 21 and by the age of 25, I passed my Level 2 Certified Sommelier test. I have had the privilege of working with Masters of Wine, Masters Sommeliers, generational vineyard owners, and world-renowned winemakers.

Aside from my knowledge in wines, I also have extensive experience in events and hospitality. I began catering high-end events during high school in the Hamptons and then moved into corporate event planning during college. I am an expert in food, beverages, and event coordination so you can trust that your virtual wine tasting experience will be exceptional.

Right from the start, Grace was amazing. She replied promptly and we began working right away. Grace provided me with wine selections and guided me along the process of a private wine tasting, which I had never done before. As requested, she arrived on time with a second sommelier. Both were highly professional, while also being personable and enjoyable! They were well-versed in the wines and explained the regions of CA to our guests. I highly recommend Grace for your wine tasting event and hope to utilize her services once more in the future!

At our James Bond-themed Casino Night for our 50th birthday celebration, Grace was truly delightful and did an outstanding job. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed her cocktails and charming personality. Grace took initiative and beautifully set up the bar and its decorations for our event. She also created a signature martini, Omar, that perfectly complemented our theme and was a huge hit. We definitely plan to hire her again in the future!

Working with Grace was a delightful experience. She possessed great expertise, adaptability, and personality. Grace made it possible for my loved ones to savor the pleasure of wine tasting with their own personal sommelier. Thank you, Grace!
