Sophia Sommelier (née Martinez) earned her Certified Sommelier credential from the Court of Master Sommeliers in 2013 and her WSET Level 3 certification in 2015. She spent seven years as assistant wine director at Canlis in Seattle (2013-2020), where she managed a 2,000-bottle cellar and conducted weekly wine education sessions for staff. Since 2020, she's worked as an independent wine consultant and educator, teaching pairing workshops and contributing to wine publications. Her approach to pairing emphasizes personal preference over rigid rules—she believes the 'right' pairing is the one you enjoy, not the one textbooks dictate. Sophia grew up in Sonoma County, surrounded by vineyards, and spent childhood summers watching her grandfather make wine in their garage. That hands-on experience shapes her practical approach to wine: it should enhance meals and bring people together, not intimidate them. She's tasted thousands of wines professionally (documenting each in detailed notes), but her personal favorites remain simple: an unoaked Chardonnay with fresh oysters, or a bold Malbec with her mother's carne asada. Her wine philosophy: 'Pair wine with food you actually want to eat, in settings where you're actually comfortable. The 5 bottle you enjoy beats the 50 bottle you're afraid to open.' Based in Portland, Oregon, she hosts monthly virtual wine tastings and maintains a personal database of over 3,000 pairing combinations tested over 12 years in the industry.
