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.
As the Ultimate Wine Insider, Emma will get paid $100,000, go on a four-country adventure of a lifetime, and help craft four new wines! She’ll visit vineyards, wineries, and tasting rooms, sampling incredible wine with the artisans who made it.
Get ready to follow along as Emma embarks on this delicious journey while documenting her travels on social media!
