Kate has spent the last ten years in the fine dining industry and brings with her a passion for wine. She is a certified level one wine sommelier and takes great pride in her ability to help people uncover avenues of wine that are outside their usual preference. Her knowledge of wine is rivaled only by her knowledge of spirits - and although she doesn’t claim to have a favorite spirit - she insists that through her use of fresh ingredients (and Voodoo), her cocktails will become your favorite no matter the distilled selection. In addition to her wine and spirit experience, her background in Italian cuisine was formed during her time at Villa Ravenna, her fine dining experience was gained at Polo Grill, and her upscale steak house time was spent at Prhyme. Kate loves to travel, especially to Europe, and loves the Chicago Bears.
