Our judges were impressed by hundreds of contest entries, but only one could be recognized as Best of Class.

Emma Davis showed off her passion for wine, spunky personality, and flair for storytelling to prove why she should be named the first-ever Ultimate Wine Insider!

Originally from Portland, Oregon, Emma has lived in New York City for over a decade. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre from New York University Steinhardt. An arts professional, Emma currently works as Assistant Director of Admissions at the Manhattan School of Music. When she’s off the clock, you’ll find Emma enjoying wine (of course!) as well as singing and watching reality television with her husband, Joe, and dog-child, Ruthie.

Congratulations, Emma!

Check out her video entry and watch the moment we
surprised Emma with the news that she’d won.

Emma is in the process of helping to craft four new wines! She’s been visiting vineyards, wineries, and tasting rooms, sampling incredible wine with the artisans who made it.

Make sure to follow along as Emma embarks on this delicious journey while documenting her travels on social media!
