Jaimie Puckett is a Certified Sommelier known for curating exceptional wine dinners, exclusive tastings, and immersive educational programs. She thrives on connecting people with unforgettable wines — whether rare and esoteric or timeless classics — always seeking to inspire curiosity and appreciation.
Her wine journey extends beyond the U.S., including time spent studying and tasting in Italy through the prestigious VinItaly International Academy, where she undertook rigorous study of native Italian grape varieties and the nuances of each region. This international perspective deepens her ability to craft wine experiences that are both authentic and inspired.
A seasoned event sommelier, Jaimie has hosted over-the-top private tastings in Nantucket homes during the Nantucket Wine Festival, led seminars in storied Newport mansions, and guided paired tastings aboard chartered yachts. She brings the same mix of precision, creativity, and joy to every occasion — whether teaching pro tips for spotting the best-value bottles on a wine list, introducing guests to a beautifully made Chardonnay, or executing a Champagne coupe tower with flawless grace (and without a single pop of the cork).
A lifelong student of wine, Jaimie sees her work as an evolving adventure — fueled by discovery, innovation, and a deep respect for tradition. She is committed to shaping the wine landscape with authenticity, expertise, and a contagious enthusiasm that leaves a lasting impression on every guest she meets.
My professional path has woven through five-star hotels and acclaimed fine dining wine programs, where I honed my craft and cultivated a passion for creating unforgettable wine experiences. My journey also leads me to Europe, where I immerse myself in vineyards, studying terroir, traditional and innovative winemaking, and the art of pairing wine with cuisine.
I believe wine is for everyone. My goal is to create experiences where curiosity is encouraged, questions are welcomed, and every guest feels at ease. Whether you’re savoring your first glass of Champagne, building a private cellar, or hosting a wine dinner aboard a yacht, my approach blends expert insight with a warm, personal touch.
From private tastings and wine dinners to cellar consulting, staff training, and wedding wine selections, each service I offer is designed to inspire curiosity, spark conversation, and create lasting memories. Every event is an opportunity to share my passion for wine — and to help you discover something new in every glass.
