Hello! My name is July and I'm from Russia. I moved to the United States when I was 15 years old, but I still feel a strong connection to my roots.
I grew up in a small town in Germany where my family owned a vineyard. I have always had a passion for wine, which led me to pursue a career as a sommelier here in the US.
My backstory is quite interesting! My parents were both involved in the wine industry, and they passed on their knowledge to me from a young age. I spent my childhood learning about different types of grapes, winemaking techniques, and how to taste and pair wines with food.
When I moved to the US, I quickly fell in love with the vast variety of wineries here. I knew that I wanted to continue working with wine, so I enrolled in sommelier school and have been working as a professional sommelier ever since.
It's always fun to meet new people and share my passion for wine with them!
