Hi, I’m Paula. I love wine, food and traveling- like most of us. I’ve earned my WSET Diploma in 2018 after studying at IWC for many years. I also have a formal culinary training from the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners. I came to NYC in ’95 and from day one I was in the hospitality industry, which culminated with me running my own restaurant and wine bar. After a beautiful 10 year run I continue to be one lucky gal as my job is to buy great wines for a great bunch. In Vino Felicitas!
