Our Team

Alexandra began her restaurant career at the tender age of three while growing up in her parents’ Po-Boy shop in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. After a slight departure to study orchestral percussion at the University of Southern Mississippi, she found her way back to the industry and fell in love with the world of wine while working for the New South Restaurant Group in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. She stayed with the NSRG for several years while performing in local orchestras and grant writing for the USM Symphony, all the while feeling a stronger pull towards hospitality. Eventually trading in her drum sticks for decanters, she moved to New York to pursue wine full time and became a certified sommelier by the Court of Master Sommeliers. After making her way back to the South, Alex was in charge of beverage programs for several New Orleans establishments including Stella, Square Root, and the Pontchartrain Hotel. She was named a 40 Under 40 Tastemaker by Wine Enthusiast Magazine, and in April 2021, joined the sales team at Uncorked, where she is happy to be able serve the New Orleans market and cheer on the Saints.
