Mandy travels the world as a cocktail judge, host, and consultant, but calls NYC home.

As a certified taster, Advanced Cicerone®, National Homebrew Competition Gold Medalist, CCP, and WSET Spirits certified professional Mandy is a pro at blind and focused tasting. Mandy regularly teaches both enthusiastic consumers and bonafide professionals about finer points of flavor, hospitality, and memory and how the three intertwine in workshops and master classes.
