About Kyle
I’m Kyle (middle name Ann). I love wine, viticulture, and storytelling, and I care about creating experiences that feel thoughtful but never intimidating. To me, wine should be approachable, personal, and something that naturally brings people together.
My approach
Wine should feel inviting without losing its depth. I focus on thoughtful selection, honest recommendations, and creating experiences that feel effortless. Whether I’m guiding a tasting or helping you find bottles you’ll truly enjoy.
I value curiosity and connection. The best wine experiences feel personal, memorable, and true to you.
Experience and Perspective
My perspective on wine is shaped as much by experience as by study. I’ve worked at a small vineyard, gaining hands-on insight into the vineyard management as well as the winemaking and the care that goes into each bottle.
Time spent studying abroad in Siena, Italy further deepened my appreciation for wine as part of everyday life, focused on gathering, shared meals, and connection.
I hold the WSET Level 3 Award in Wines and am currently pursuing the Introductory Sommelier Certificate, bringing together practical experience, formal education, and a service-driven approach to wine.
