KATHRYN MORGAN, Wine Consultant

Biography

 

Kathryn Morgan grew up in the presence of fine wine and great food. The only child of a wine collector and an amateur chef, she was hooked at first sniff. After nearly ten years as a top sommelier in the Washington D.C. area, she now shares her passion for wine and cuisine with others by consulting for restaurant wine programs, educating the general public, and mentoring other local sommeliers.

Kathryn’s career is marked with an excellent and consistent track record for improving perception, as well as increasing the sales and profitability of restaurant wine programs.   Under her direction, the historic Occidental, Ristorante Tosca, and 2941 Restaurant won local and national recognition for their wine lists.  In addition to her professional experience, Kathryn has spent her free time learning from Master Sommeliers in some of the best restaurants in the country – having briefly worked on the floor in Aspen’s Montagna at the Little Nell, L’Escalier at the Breakers in Palm Beach, Mary Elaine’s at the Phoenician in Scottsdale, Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder, and Pappas Bros. Steakhouse in Dallas.

Kathryn is currently an active candidate for the Master Sommelier diploma.  In 2003, she passed the challenging advanced level examinations, and has passed two of the three section of the Master Sommelier Exam.
