Welcome to Wine on Main

Welcome to Wine on Main!

My passion for wine began over a decade ago.  I first studied wine at Cornell University and fell in love with it- the geography, the stories, the varietals.  I have pursued many sides of the industry since then.

One of my first forays into the wine world was serving as wine correspondent for a prominent regional website.  I also worked in restaurants which taught me about food and wine pairing.  I became the manager at a boutique wine store in Connecticut and earned the WSET Level 2 Award in Wine & Spirits and the WSET Level 3 Award in Wine from the International Wine Center in New York City during that time.

In addition, I have worked in wine distribution both in Connecticut and New Hampshire.  Prior to Wine on Main, I was Director of Operations for a medium-sized New Hampshire distributor.  I had the opportunity to work with unique wines from around the world, many of which were small production and family-owned.  Being Director of Operations opened my eyes to other sides of the wine business, like logistics and importing.

Today, Wine on Main is a dynamic retail space as well as a community.  We curate wines from around the world that are not easily found elsewhere.  We focus on limited bottles, family-owned estates, and wines with a story.

We love hosting events as well.  We have a beautiful tasting room that we use for free wine tastings, wine classes, seminars, and fun collaborations with local businesses.  We have done everything from candle-making to donut and wine pairing to paint and sips to jewelry making.  You can find a full schedule of events on our Events Calendar.

When I’m not drinking wine, you’re likely to find me with my husband and our dogs, Pepper and Wizz.  We enjoy getting outdoors and exploring everything that New Hampshire has to offer.  You may also run into me at concerts- I love live music.
