For over a decade, I built and led Uncorked as a wholesale wine distribution company, working across every facet of the business—from sourcing and portfolio development to supplier relationships, logistics, and regulatory compliance within the U.S. three-tier system.
Through that experience, I developed a deep understanding of what it actually takes to bring wine to market. Beyond selecting the right wines, success often depends on navigating a complex regulatory landscape—one that can be difficult to manage without practical, hands-on experience.
Today, my work has evolved to focus on wine consulting and compliance advisory. I work with wineries, importers, restaurants, and retailers to develop thoughtful wine programs and guide them through processes such as TTB licensing, label approvals (COLA), and multi-state compliance.
I also work closely with international producers, providing U.S.-based expertise for those entering or expanding within the market.
What sets my approach apart is the combination of operational experience and regulatory insight. I understand not only how wine should be selected and presented, but how it must move through the system to reach the market successfully.
At its core, my work is about simplifying complexity—offering clear, practical guidance so clients can move forward with confidence.
If you’re navigating the U.S. wine market or building a wine program, I’d be happy to connect.
