THE TEAM
Growing up in the Finger Lakes wine region of upstate New York, Emily developed a love of wine early on in life. In 2010 she spent her first summer working in restaurants on Nantucket. The island is where she truly fell in love with hospitality.
Over the next twelve years, her passion only grew. Emily achieved both her certified and advanced degrees from the Court of Master Sommeliers and WSET. From Nantucket to Montana, Palm Beach and Santa Barbara, she found herself working in restaurants across the United States. She spent over six years running the multi-million-dollar wine program at Cru Oyster Bar, growing alongside some of the best in the business.
As co-owner of Pocomo Wine Co, Emily translated years of curating a loyal clientele, into a highly successful wine concierge and events business on Nantucket.
Emily is passionate about people and pairings.

Gracie found herself in wine by way of serendipity.
Thanks to the Hawthorn Bottle Shop in Montana, she transitioned from the occasional Franzia drinker to a deeply passionate student of wine - with advanced and certified degrees from WSET and the Court of Master Sommeliers, respectively.
Gracie has a background in luxury restaurants and clientele, having spent her formative years building and managing million-dollar programs at the Yellowstone Club in Big Sky. Her passion for great hospitality soon brought her to Nantucket shores. It’s here where she honed her skills, and met some incredibly important people (shown here on the left and right).
Today, Gracie is proud to work in the kind of space she believes in most—restaurants rooted in place, shaped by the local community, and elevated by exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and really good wine.
