After nearly 10 years in New York City's demanding food and beverage industry, Lea realized that many people share her love of wine, but are somewhat gun-shy about asking questions for fear of being eaten alive by an intimidating sommelier.

 

Lea's approach to wine is simple: "It's wine, not rocket science. You should love learning what you enjoy sipping, and you should not be afraid to ask questions or try something new."

After working with well-known chefs, Alaine Ducas, Anne Burrel, and Amanda Frietag, Lea became the wine director of a popular Midtown Manhattan wine bar. Here, Lea Faith established an eclectic list of wines from all over the world and hosted regular classes and tastings.

 

A student of Kevin Zraly, as well as the internationally recognized Society of Wine Educators. Lea - Faith is also a Certified Wine Specialist and will soon be a Certified Wine Educator.
