Born and raised in Monterey, a California food and
wine mecca, Kaela developed a passion for
wine at a
young age, passing her first
sommelier exam at 22.
There's a new wave of
young men and women helming the beverage programs at restaurants across the U.S.. It's good - bye to the haughty bow - tied
sommeliers of yore, and hello, yes, please, pour me some of whatever you have there to the
sommeliers who are making
wine just as exciting as beer, cocktails, and dinner itself.
