As the vice president of beverage for a prominent restaurant group, Gretchen Thomas travels the world looking for those little “pieces of passion” that make a wine unique and qualified to be on her menu. Without her education at The Culinary Institute of America (CIA), Gretchen would never have been introduced to wine or found her career path.
