“My hospitality career began as a teenager, working for a fast food chain –I quickly moved to Fine Dining after I couldn’t get the greasy French fry smell out of my hair!” is how Laura DePasquale, with characteristic wit and understatement, attributes the drive and initiative that have propelled her on the way to becoming one the most accomplished and influential women in the U.S. wine industry today.

DePasquale passed the rigorous series of exams that earned her the right
to add the initials MS (Master Sommelier) after her name and in the process she joined an elite group of
Master Sommeliers worldwide, becoming the 13th woman to achieve the
title since the examinations were first set in 1969.

Laura DePasquale is a popular and engaging wine educator, examiner, and judge, regularly in demand for conducting seminars and tastings at numerous high-profile events such as TexSom, South Beach Food and Wine Festival, New York Food & Wine, Aspen Food & Wine Classic, Vino Italia and Simply Italy. DePasquale is a regular lecturer and examiner for the Court of Master Sommeliers at all levels. She is a wine judge and panel chair in blind competitions that include Decanter Wine Awards, 5-Star Premium Wines, Vin Italy, The Jefferson Cup and TexSom International Wine Awards.
