I take a cue from writer Jay McInerney: I'm a hedonist in the cellar. A lover of all things wine, I've traversed wine countries from California to Italy, Slovenia to Mexico, with abandon. As a former Wine Spectator editor, I wrote about wine tasting in Israel's Judean Hills and paired regional wines with Oscar nominees.

That passion extends to spirits, too, as I've spent years absorbing knowledge on distillation processes, cocktail bars, and molecular mixology. My Instagram proves it, as does my master's thesis on wine bars and gastropubs. I've continued in the food and wine industry, honing my writing skills covering the gourmet food industry at SpecialtyFood.com, spotlighting top nightlife destinations on Localeur.com, and consulting on social media and email marketing for wine retailers.

Not only can I write about wines and spirits, but I know how to grow a website. From my work at large companies like LivingSocial to young, venture-backed startups such as AHAlife.com and its newly launched AHAnoir.com, I've been an integral team member handling branding, content and social media strategy, content curation and email marketing, with strict KPIs to measure growth and success in terms of both engagement and conversion.

Whether it's an emerging wine region or social media tool, I'm obsessed with finding out what's new and what I can tell you about it.
