Sommelier
Certification
2018
After graduating from Boston University with a degree in Television and Film, Amy promptly ignored her education and started working at Facebook, which at the time was a small tech startup. After a few years in the Bay Area, she moved back to New York to dabble in comedy podcasting. She drank wine throughout these years and dreams of becoming a sommelier began to percolate.
She began her wine journey in 2017 taking a course at the Sommelier Society of America and earning her sommelier certification in February 2018. Soon after, she launched her wine education company, That Pour Woman, specializing in public and private wine events, classes, and tastings. Since then she’s worked in wine shops, traveled to myriad wine regions, and graduated from the WSET Diploma and Spanish Wine Scholar programs.
