Cary Ann earned her Certified Specialist of Spirits award from the Society of Wine Educators and is currently a candidate for the Level 3 Award in Spirits from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust.

Cary Ann has developed close relationships with distillers and distilleries across the country. She is also a regular cast member on the award-winning podcast, Sips, Suds, & Smokes, where everything good in life is worth discussing. No matter the activity, Cary Ann is always Straight Up.
