Introduction	Dubbed as the Rachel Ray of wine tasting, Katie Finn has made her Irish family very proud. Katie's passion for Wine began with Flemings Steakhouse followed by a summer spent abroad in Italy and France. Her adventures took her to Roys Newport Beach as well as Roys Kahana Bar & Grill in Maui, where Katie worked as a Wine Educator and Sommelier. In 2006, Katie returned to the Desert and shes here to stay! She currently holds a certification for levels one and two with the Court of Master Sommeliers and is a Certified Specialist of Wine. She is a member of the Society of Wine Educators and is currently studying with the International Sommelier Guild. When not hitting the books, you can find Katie hosting a number of local events through her business, Great Legs Wine Consulting or meeting with buyers at local restaurants and retail shops reviewing the extensive wines she represents through Epic Wines. Her goal is to permanently eliminate the snobbery and intimidation that is so common among her profession. She specializes in making wine fun, approachable, and interesting.
