Sara Lehman

Sara Lehman. Food and Wine is in my blood… well ok, literally not in my blood, but you can  say that I was born to do what I do.  After high school I spent the next four years at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island where I studied Baking and Pastry Arts. I was able to study wine and receive my sommelier certificate at The German Wine School in the city of Koblenz, Germany. Here were tasted, analyzed, and paired wines from all around the world with foods and desserts and I was hooked. Currently I am a sommelier and food & beverage writer. Living life in the city is fabulous, and writing about it should be too! You can follow her at @Sominthecity.
