I am the founder of Carnival Wine Company in Sonoma, California, where I specialize in crafting traditional-method sparkling wines. Inspired by Sonoma’s long-standing roots in winemaking, I set out to carry that history forward while adding my own creative voice.

At Carnival, every bottle begins with grapes sourced from small, family-owned vineyards that farm with care and sustainability in mind. This focus not only honors the land but also deepens my connection to the community of growers who make Sonoma so special.

For me, sparkling wine is more than just a toast at life’s milestones — it’s a way of storytelling. Each wine reflects both tradition and innovation, blending old-world technique with the vibrant spirit of Sonoma. Through Carnival Wine Company, I invite people to celebrate the everyday, to connect with each other, and to experience the joy and craftsmanship of wines rooted in place and purpose.

I began my Instagram in 2018 with a direct focus on wine. It combines my love for food, travel, and socializing. I enjoy learning about wine's nuances and sharing that knowledge with others. I spend approximately 3 months a year by invitation in Europe working with and promoting some of my favorite international wineries. This year I was invited to Vinoinfluencers World Wine Awards in Spain and was honored as one of the top five in the world in the category Wine Style.

I admire that wine brings people together, fostering connections and conversations. I'm passionate about creating memorable experiences through wine pairings and passing along my recommendations both in the United States and Globally.
