Learn how to know what wine to buy! Cha McCoy is a certified sommelier, curator, host for intimate wine experiences, and founder of Cha Squared LLC, a consulting company with a focus on tourism, gastronomy, hospitality experiences, education, and training. In 2010 as a civil engineer, she traveled to Italy to achieve her MBA and she fell in love with wine’s magic. When she returned to America, she started her education and became a wine expert, transitioning between two very masculine industries. She currently divides her time between Lisbon and New York, working as Cherry Bombe Magazine’s Beverage Director & Editor and as a Brand Ambassador for New York Wine & Grape Foundation. She spreads her passion and unique sensibility for wine all over the world, making wine more accessible, dismantling what she calls palate discrimination in food & beverage.
