Nicole's passion for wine was ignited during a transformative trip to Napa Valley in 2014, where she was captivated by the stories behind the vineyards and the people who bring them to life. Determined to share this enchanting world with others, she founded Grape Chic in late 2017, a blog and social media platform dedicated to making wine approachable, enjoyable, and relatable. Through Grape Chic, Nicole has partnered with esteemed wine brands and regions, traveling extensively to introduce her audience of over 45,000 followers to the unique places and faces of the wine world.

 

In addition to her work on Grape Chic, Nicole is a seasoned private client wine consultant, offering personalized guidance to wine enthusiasts and collectors. Her expertise is further validated by her WSET Level 4 Diploma, her distinction as a French Wine Scholar with highest honors, and her contributions to leading wine publications. Nicole's journey in the wine industry is driven by a commitment to demystifying wine and sharing its beauty with a global audience.
