About
Hi! I am a passionate wine lover who has spent close to two decades in the food and wine industry. I am providing sommelier services and wine consulting. In addition to my time in the New York wine industry, I also studied to get an MBA in Food and Wine at the University of Bologna in Bologna, Italy. I also have held a sommelier certification for over ten years. I am available for both professional and personal services! For professional services, I am available for sommelier consultations for restaurants, retail shops, and catering spaces. I am also able to make wine lists for establishments. I can also provide services for bachelorette parties, food pairings, wine tastings, classes, and local events. I am eager to share my passion for wine with you! Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Ilana
