I’ve always loved hosting, which to me, means creating a space for connection. With roots in New England, I learned the generosity of hosting from my mom — how traditions and thoughtful touches can make guests feel at home and gatherings memorable.

That early passion for creating a welcoming atmosphere has stayed with me. The energy I’ve found through hosting, combined with a career in public relations and a long-time love of exploring the world of wine, all led me to bring people together around wine.

Based in Steamboat, my in-home wine tastings reflect the spirit of Wild Grace — both elevated and down to earth. Designed to be welcoming and engaging, each experience invites you to slow down and connect, celebrate, and create meaningful moments you’ll remember for what I hope is years to come.

Whether you are new to wine, have your own collection, or are somewhere in between, you’ll enjoy thoughtfully selected wines and experience the way a gathering designed for connection can leave a lasting impression.
