Mandy Naglich

A writer, a judge, a brewer, and a do-er.

It’s me! Your friendly neighborhood professional taster. The ever-volunteering bartender for the party. A new author of How to Taste: A Guide to Discovering Flavor and Savoring Life.

Mostly, I’m a freelance writer and consultant working in the beverage and travel space. Occasionally, I’m a TV personality and professional judge assessing and explaining beer, cocktails, and spirits. Sometimes, I’m using my WSET, Certified Cider Professional, or Advanced Cicerone credentials to teach professionals and consumers about their favorite spirits and fermented beverages. Always, I’m willing to try something new.  

When I'm not on deadline or designing a new workshop. you can find me obsessing over homebrewing, searching for a perfect Boulevardier in NYC, or wandering the halls of The Met.  I love having my trusty Cavalier King Charles mix, Chewy, by my side.
