Morgan L. Van Rhee Email & Phone Number

Hi there! I'm Morgan and I am a lover of culture and taste.Since I was four years old, you could catch me at the stove in my parents' kitchen. It is here where my love affair with food began. When you're the last of four, precautions take a backseat and you get to stand over a stove if you want. Our home was always open, and consequentially, mealtimes were full of friends, family and rich conversation.Flash forward and I dove into work at an award-winning cafe eatery as a kitchen porter and barista, with time spent as a prep cook and with our pastry team. Dialing in the espresso machine each morning, I honed my palate and set my sights on culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu in London. My return from London, more exposure to coffee roasting, training in James-Beard nominated and NYT Best Restaurant Andiario and an early college graduation later, I plunged deeper into the world of wine and food.I've since worked in many segments of the tourism, wine, and hospitality industries, from fine dining to importing, distribution, marketing, and public relations. I hold a WSET II certification in wine and spirits and am looking to obtain my CSW next.Outside of work, you're likely to find me traveling (I'm a Francophile at heart) or outside rock climbing, camping, running, or paddleboarding. There's an equal likelihood that I've brought a picnic with Comte or Stilton and honey from my collection along for the ride. If you're a Spanish speaker, I'm learning, so let's chat!
