Victoria James

Victoria James – Author and Beverage Director of COTE Victoria has worked in restaurants since she was a kid, and fell in love with the hospitality industry along the way. At 21 she became the country's youngest certified sommelier and today she's the beverage director at Michelin-starred COTE in New York City. But there’s more to Victoria than her accomplishments as a top tastemaker. Her best-selling memoir “Wine Girl” traces her struggles that could have set her back, but didn't. She pushed ahead through the boys club of the hospitality industry, and now she's hoping to transform it. Today we speak about the restaurant experience, sexism and overcoming adversity. Follow To Dine For:Official Website: ToDineForTV.comFacebook: Facebook.com/ToDineForTVInstagram: @ToDineForTVTwitter: @KateSullivanTVEmail: [email protected] Thank You to our Sponsors!American National InsuranceSpiritless - Use promo code TODINEFOR for free shipping Follow Our Guest:Official Site: VictoriaJames.infoInstagram: @victoria___jamesTwitter: @GetUrGrapeOn  Hosted on Acast.
