Sommelier Kim Bridges - “The Wine Lady”
Kim’s nickname “The Wine Lady” started decades ago and has remained throughout her long career. As a wine class instructor and consultant for the number one wine retailer in Texas and third largest wine buyer in the nation, Kim recognized the need for more wine culture in the Coastal Bend. So, taking a leap of faith (and love for wine), Kim co-founded Coastal Wine Academy. Mission? To educate and entertain local wine enthusiasts with the history, climate and geography of wine regions and countries, their indigenous cuisine and grape varietals, and how all of that affects the wine they produce.
As a graduate of the Society of Wine Educators with the difficult and honorable degree of “Certified Specialist of Wine”, Kim has created wine course curriculum for over 500 wine classes and innumerable wine and food pairings. Kim offers food and wine enthusiasts entertainment, laughter, and a side of education.
The food pairing will be catered by Chef Margorie Pettigrove of Peppergrass Kitchen, Corpus Christi, TX.
