For Women who Want to Learn
about Wine & Shine
Build Confidence One Sip at a Time
No need to become a sommelier to talk wine and have fun!
How I Got Started
I used to let men choose the wine because waiters assumed they knew best (thanks, history!), and I didn’t want to cause a fuss. Plus, I felt overwhelmed by wine jargon and didn’t trust my own knowledge. I thought wine was a "man’s world" and that they had better taste buds.
Boy, was I wrong! Women are taking over the wine scene—just look at all the female sommeliers out there.
The truth? I didn’t trust myself, and I was lacking confidence, always shying away from attention.
But one day, I decided that had to change!
I’ve always loved wine, whether it was the beauty of vineyards or movies like A Good Year. Maybe it was from running through my uncle's vineyard in France as a kid, who knows?
So, I took action. I faced my fears and dove into the world of wine! It’s been an amazing adventure, and I can’t wait to share it with you in a fun, relaxed way!

Vio
FOUNDER
Wine has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mom’s uncle had a vineyard in Beaujolais, and I used to run through the vines and hide in the cellar. That smell still takes me back to those childhood memories.
When I was finally old enough to try wine, I discovered a whole world of history, aromas, and passion inside every bottle.
Like Maya says in Sideways, "a bottle of wine is actually alive." It evolves, just like us!
At first, I knew very little about wine, so I decided to change that! I traveled through France and Italy, tasting and learning, and I earned my WSET 3 and ONAV 1 certifications. Now, I’m here to share my tips and make wine fun and easy!
My husband is my food and wine guinea pig. I love to cook, and he loves to eat! He's Italian, I'm French, and we both adore good wine.
I don’t claim to know everything—I just love a good meal with great wine and even better company. So, let’s enjoy this food and wine journey together, through French and Italian flavors. And remember, it’s always about quality, not quantity!
