Today my baby, Amusée, turns 20 years old! 🍾
And somehow it feels like I started this journey all just yesterday.

To the thousands of clients who entrusted me with their businesses, the oodles of clients that ended up becoming lifelong friends, to my UNBELIEVABLE network of family + friends that have been on this beautiful journey with me and have supported me every step of the way — I owe you the world.

The day I started Amusée, my mom asked:
‘So, you’re gonna make a living out of drinking wine?’
Look at me now, Mom 🍷

The world of wine is still my favorite place on planet earth. From the countries I have travelled to the genuinely brilliant winemaking families I have met to the wines I have sipped + stunning amount of knowledge + experience I’ve sipped in over the years — my love affair with wine + my career has afforded me some of the greatest opportunities.

Thank you again to all who helped me create this beautiful little gem — Amusée 💎
I am so very grateful.
Cheers to 20 more! 🥂

A place that feels like home 🍇

If you are a Pinot Noir fan, then the Otago wine region is must visit.
From the unbelievably kind, honest, passionate (+ nerdy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻) vineyard + winemaking folks that we have had the pleasure of spending time with to the gorgeous landscape, commitment to not only farming and the understanding that ‘all ships rise’ philosophy — my Oregonian wine heart feels so full and truly at home.

Thank you to the truly wonderful people who took the time to connect, allowed me to ask all of the questions + shared their wines + passion with us.

Central Otago, I will return ❤️

Thanks to my incredible family at The Jason Show for the super fun interview while I am away traveling all of the north + south islands of New Zealand this month!
From sky diving to wine exploring to hiking and beyond — I am so looking forward to sharing so much more with you all when I return.
Look for our upcoming New Zealand wine classes in Feb when I return 🍷😁
