Description
This episode features Hailey Culmone, a Certified Sommelier in Atlanta, GA who works in wine distribution and hosts private tasting events. She grew up working in restaurants, but it wasn't until a 6-month trip abroad between undergraduate and graduate school working on a coffee farm led her to fall deeper in love with wine. We talk about how she started to notice the nuances of both coffee and wine, the similarities, and the importance of place. Upon her return to Atlanta, she worked at East Pole Coffee Co. and simultaneously returned to Cooks & Soldiers to continue her wine education. She began hosting wine classes at her home and later started a business designing in-home tastings and wine events for private clients. We talk about the experience of recently taking the Certified Sommelier Exam, how she designs her in-home classes to make learning about wine accessible to anyone, and her passion for equipping people with the knowledge to navigate the vast world of wine. You can follow her @somm.where on Instagram and learn more about her classes by visiting www.haileyculmone.com.
