Lisa Denning’s love of food, wine and spirits has led her on the path to many edible adventures. Attending the International Culinary Center in New York City was the first step on this journey, followed by jobs in the food business. In 2012, she began to focus on wine and spirits as a sales associate at Sherry-Lehmann, one of the oldest wine retailers in the U.S. In 2016, Denning founded The Wine Chef, now an award-winning blog with content devoted to wine and food pairings. Additionally, Denning writes for Grape Collective where she is known for her winemaker interviews. For delicious food and wine pairings, follow her instagram @nycrestaurants.
