Misaki joined Coeur Wine Co. in summer 2018 as the first full-time office staff to help manage day-to day operations.  Originally from Japan, Misaki came to the States to attend a school and it was not until she arrived at New York City several years later that she found love for wine.  From there, prior to joining Coeur, she has worked as a sommelier at Corton, a buyer at Astor Wines & Spirits, and most recently a Senior Business Development Associate at Massanois Imports.

Misaki still possesses the drive when she left her country 16 years ago; the desire to explore new and exciting – and she is grateful to find that in both where she lives and what she does.
