Jaimie Puckett is a Certified Sommelier renowned for curating exceptional wine experiences, including exclusive private tastings, immersive wine education programs, and unforgettable wine dinners. She thrives on connecting people with remarkable wines — whether they are rare and esoteric or timeless classics — always aiming to inspire curiosity and appreciation.
Her wine journey extends beyond the U.S., featuring time spent studying and tasting in Italy through the esteemed VinItaly International Academy, where she engaged in rigorous study of native Italian grape varieties and the nuances of each region. This international perspective enhances her ability to craft authentic wine experiences that are both inspired and memorable.
As a seasoned event sommelier, Jaimie has hosted extravagant 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 views 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.
