Experience
Carrie loves getting excited by something she has read and hopes to bring that thrill of discovery to Tasting Table. Working in wine, food, and travel journalism for over a decade has afforded her many stories to tell and knowledge to drop. She resides in the Hudson Valley with her husband, son, Border Collie Shep, Maine Coon mix Remington, and Brooklyn street cat Chimo. When she is not writing about her favorite things, she might be finding treasures in thrift stores or on forest floors.
Education
Carrie studied creative writing at TCNJ, found her niche, and went all in. She began studying wine from every angle (blind tasting, journalism, business, viticulture, and viniculture) — first at the Sommelier Society of America, then the International Wine School where she was certified at an advanced level and she went on to begin studies for the DipWSET.
