Pairing Wine With My Life's Adventure

Part 1, REINVENTION: Quit my job, sold my house and moved from Cali to NYC for sommelier classes. Part 2, GETTING MY HANDS DIRTY: Moved to Napa and worked in a cellar and vineyard making wine. Part 3: STUDYING ABROAD: Traveling through France and Italy on a wine scavenger hunt. Sto cambiando la mia vita e desidero imparare circa vino. Je change ma vie et je veux me renseigner sur le vin. Part 4: TRY TO GET SERIOUS: After my travels, I've moved back to New York and now work as a Sommelier.

employees only

Check out my new friend www.griotgurl.net. The dust is finally settling here for me in Brooklyn. I went to the wine store (Astor wine shop in Manhattan) to buy some of the wine I made in Napa and it hurt to pay full price, plus I got a weird look from the cashier when I told him I made it...

I've been working at a great Italian place and learning so much about Italian wines. I'm "auditioning" for a sommelier position tomorrow night at a new fancy place in midtown. Wish me luck. I have been asked over and over if I'm an actress, and I think that's b/c I'm working as a server at a restaurant.

Great bar (but don't go) Employees Only. "Are those some large ice cubes you have or are you just happy to see me?" Man I had the best cocktail there last night... it starts with egg whites and ends with a float of gamay.

I checked out the new place Japoinais. Value menu prices and nice sake list.

Working on an idea for a travel show. Here are my goals: spanish/italian, biz plan and script.
