welcome to VINE & DANDY

Vine & Dandy was founded by Mona Betancourt, who holds the WSET Level 3 Award in Wine as well as the Italian Wine Scholar Prep Certificate from Wine Scholar Guild. She is also a WSG French Wine Scholar candidate.

Mona believes that wine is for everyone, and her approach is to make learning about wine intuitive and fun.

One of her favorite aspects about wine is how it combines so many areas of interest – world history, geography, different cultures, different cuisines, and of course the social and emotional component of sharing great wine, food and memories with friends..
