Grace grew up splitting her time between Los Angeles and the North Fork of Long Island. Situated two hours outside of Manhattan, the North Fork is home to over thirty wineries and sprawling vineyards. It was through time spent at these wineries that Grace started appreciating wine in all its forms.
Her passion for wine is twofold. On the one hand, she is drawn to the history that lives within each bottle. In her opinion, exploring different time periods and regions through a glass of wine is such a special way to experience other cultures and places. She is also drawn to wine’s ability to bring people together. Sharing a bottle of wine promotes the gathering of old friends and long conversations. These are just some of the reasons why Grace is committed to serving as the liaison between The Gurin Wines brand and happy clients.
