Jennifer Wood
Jennifer is a Certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers and WSET Level 3 graduate with Merit, currently pursuing her WSET Diploma.
After a distinguished 25+ year legal career, Jen transitioned to the wine world in 2017, captivated by wine's unique power to transport us through story. She believes that every bottle offers armchair wine travel—taking us to sun-drenched vineyards in Tuscany, misty hillsides in Burgundy, or family cellars passed down through generations.
It's these stories that transform wine from simply a beverage into community, connecting us to places we've never been and people we've never met.
Her legal background brings analytical precision to wine selection and consultation, while her natural enthusiasm makes even the most complex topics accessible. Jennifer focuses on the narratives that make each wine special—because understanding the story behind the wine deepens every sip and creates meaningful connections among those who share it.
While her favorite wine is usually whatever's in her glass at the moment, Champagne will always hold a special place in her heart for its ability to turn any occasion into something extraordinary.
