Lucia first fell in love with wine while studying Culinary Arts at the Culinary Institute of America. She had no idea that the first day of her wine class would be the start to an incredible wine journey. She is most passionate about developing recipes and pairing them with wine. There is something magical that happens when a dish meets its perfect match in a wine.

After graduating culinary school, Lucia started working in fine dining restaurants across the country, learning as much as she could about wine. While working at the 1 Michelin starred restaurant The Nomad, she became certified through the Court of Masters. She continued working in restaurants a few years after and finally one day decided to pursue social media full time growing her brand.
