Emily Carlson

Award Winning Sommelier at DaVero Farms & Winery

I am equally comfortable serving and speaking about wine in a Michelin starred restaurant as I am in interacting with homebound seniors through my volunteer work with Meals on Wheels. I believe that true hospitality extends past guest interactions and into the way you treat your coworkers and community.  I pride myself on being equally warm and knowledgable, and enjoy sharing that knowledge and enthusiasm with others.
